Recent announcements include AT&T's new global headquarters campus in Plano, Goldman Sachs' Dallas campus near Victory Park, and Bimbo Bakeries USA's headquarters move to Irving. Employees tend to live where the daily drive works: Collin County suburbs for Plano, close-in Dallas neighborhoods for Victory Park, and Las Colinas, Coppell, and nearby areas for Irving.
These are a few of the most visible moves, not a complete list. Dallas-Fort Worth has received more than 100 corporate headquarters relocations since 2018, the most of any U.S. metro (CBRE, The Shifting Landscape of Headquarters Relocations, 2026 Update, April 2026). In 2025 alone, DFW landed 11 of 164 U.S. headquarters relocations, again the most of any city (Bisnow, citing CBRE, 2026).
What is driving the trend in 2026?
The pattern is changing shape. CBRE's 2026 update notes a shift toward regional hubs and more intrastate moves, meaning companies are not only moving headquarters from other states but also opening or consolidating regional offices and relocating within Texas. For employees, that means relocation is not limited to executives at a new headquarters. It includes teams transferring to a regional hub, new hires recruited from other markets, and families moving from elsewhere in Texas.
Below are three announced projects and the neighborhoods that commonly fit each commute. Commute times vary by route, time of day, and where in each neighborhood you live, so drive the trip yourself before deciding.
Where do employees live near AT&T's new Plano campus?
AT&T announced a new global headquarters campus of about 54 acres in Plano, with moves beginning in the second half of 2028 (AT&T announcement, January 2026). For a Plano workplace, households usually look first at Collin County and the northern edge of Dallas County. Areas that commonly fit:
- Plano. Established neighborhoods, a wide range of price points, and the shortest drive for many.
- Frisco. Newer construction and master-planned communities to the north.
- McKinney. A historic downtown plus newer subdivisions, a bit farther out.
- Allen and Richardson. Convenient to the major north-south highways and often a strong value.
- Prosper. Larger lots and newer homes for buyers who accept a longer drive.
With a 2028 timeline, employees have time to plan. Our comparison of Plano, Frisco, and McKinney is a good starting point.
Where do employees live near Goldman Sachs' Dallas campus?
Goldman Sachs is building an 800,000-square-foot campus in Dallas near the Perot Museum, in the Victory Park and North End area, targeted to open in early 2028 (Goldman Sachs, reported by Fox Business, 2026). A central Dallas workplace opens up a different set of options, including some where a short drive or even a walk is realistic:
- Victory Park, Uptown, and the Design District. High-rise and mid-rise condos, townhomes, and walkable streets close to the campus.
- Turtle Creek and Oak Lawn. Established condo buildings and tree-lined streets just north of downtown.
- Highland Park and University Park. Single-family homes with their own school district and a quick drive south to the campus.
- Preston Hollow. Larger lots and estate homes farther north, with an easy drive down the Dallas North Tollway.
- Kessler Park and North Oak Cliff. Character homes across the Trinity River with a short commute into the core.

Where do employees live near Bimbo Bakeries USA's Irving headquarters?
Bimbo Bakeries USA relocated its corporate headquarters from Horsham, Pennsylvania to 5525 MacArthur Blvd. in Irving (company announcement, May 2026). Irving sits between Dallas and Fort Worth near DFW International Airport, so the commute shed reaches in several directions. Areas that commonly fit:
- Las Colinas. Office towers, lakeside condos, and townhomes close to the headquarters.
- Valley Ranch. Residential neighborhoods in north Irving with access to the same corridor.
- Coppell. A suburban setting just north with its own school district.
- Grapevine, Southlake, and Flower Mound. Larger homes to the northwest, with a longer but manageable drive for many.
- Preston Hollow and North Dallas. For employees who prefer a Dallas address and a reverse commute.
What if my employer is not on this list?
Many companies moving people to North Texas never make headlines. Semiconductor and advanced manufacturing employers, for example, are adding jobs north of the metro, which is covered in our guide to moving to North Texas for semiconductor jobs. The same approach applies to any employer: start with the office address, then work outward to neighborhoods that match your commute tolerance, school needs, and budget.
