AT&T celebrated a significant milestone on Thursday morning as construction officially broke ground on its new $1.3 billion headquarters located in Plano.
The campus will span 54 acres on the site of the former Electronic Data Systems facility on Legacy Drive, which was demolished earlier this year. The new development will have the capacity to accommodate up to 10,000 employees, enabling AT&T to consolidate all of its offices throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex into a single, unified location.
As part of the groundbreaking ceremony held on Thursday, the campus’s inaugural fiber connection was officially installed.
AT&T has indicated that it intends to have at least a portion of the campus operational during the second half of 2028. State documents reveal that construction on select buildings is scheduled to commence on December 1, with an anticipated completion date of March 2029.
