AT&T Plano Headquarters Filings Outline $1.06B in Construction

AT&T’s existing downtown Dallas office
Existing Dallas office: AT&T.

Eight office buildings, three garages and a central utility plant appear in reported filings for AT&T’s future headquarters.

Newly reported state filings put approximately $1.0613 billion of construction into view at AT&T’s planned Plano headquarters. The October 14 Dallas Business Journal report identifies eight office buildings, three parking garages and a separate central utility plant at the former Electronic Data Systems campus.

The eight office buildings account for $713.9 million of the reported estimates. Garages add $271.6 million and the utility plant adds $75.8 million. These figures are construction estimates attached to registrations, distinct from the broader reported $1.35 billion development value.

A campus rather than a single office tower

The reported office program exceeds 2.2 million square feet, with garages totaling approximately 2.8 million square feet. The filings indicate a December 2026 start and March 2029 completion horizon. As preliminary registrations, they can change and do not demonstrate that every building will mobilize at the same time.

Plano’s February announcement placed the headquarters redevelopment within the Legacy district and described a performance-based incentive linked to capital investment, employment and the company’s long-term presence. The proposal carries significance beyond office floorspace because it involves redevelopment of an established corporate site.

The central plant is a distinct construction component

A separately identified utility plant highlights the supporting infrastructure behind the office program. Centralized services require coordination between the plant, distribution routes and the buildings they serve. The published estimate does not establish a particular equipment selection or the appointment of installation contractors.

The next delivery information should clarify how plant readiness aligns with building occupancy. That relationship can determine when finished office space becomes usable, particularly where several buildings share infrastructure.

From filings to delivery

KDC is identified with the development filings. The reviewed summary does not establish the general contractor or individual mechanical and electrical installers. Earlier demolition and redevelopment activity should also be distinguished from the reported start of these newly registered buildings.

The filings provide a more detailed construction baseline for the headquarters move. Executed package awards, permit releases and confirmed field milestones will be needed to turn that baseline into a reliable picture of active work.
