$1.3 billion AT&T HQ set for 'heart of the Legacy business park'

AT&T will soon call Plano home for its global headquarters, taking over a space that is no stranger to big business.

The gist: The $1.3 billion, 54-acre AT&T headquarters will replace the former Electronic Data Systems campus, which opened in 1985 and served as a catalyst for corporate growth in the Legacy area but has been vacant for more than seven years.

“This site really is the heart of the Legacy business park,” Assistant City Manager Doug McDonald said.

Diving deeper: The company announced the move in January, and Plano City Council approved $20 million in financial incentives Feb. 23 to facilitate the new headquarters.

The former Electronic Data Systems campus at the site at 5400 Legacy Drive is set for demolition. AT&T’s relocation is the first major corporate headquarters redevelopment project in Plano, McDonald said.
