The Richardson Telecom Corridor
A roughly 6.5-mile strip along US-75 with 25M+ sq ft of office and roots going back to Texas Instruments and Collins Radio in the 1950s.
- ✓Texas Instruments is headquartered in Dallas (~34,000 employees) and is building a new Richardson analog chip fab.
- ✓Telecom + hardware heritage (Nortel, Ericsson, AT&T legacy) - now a broad tech base.
- ✓Best bases: Richardson, Plano, Garland, Allen.
Plano Legacy West / Legacy Central
The corporate-HQ heart of DFW:
- ✓Toyota's ~$1B, 100-acre North American HQ; JPMorgan's ~1M-sq-ft campus (~10,000 people); Samsung's 84-acre Legacy Central; PepsiCo and Frito-Lay.
- ✓AT&T announced in 2026 it will move its global HQ from downtown Dallas to a Plano campus by 2028.
- ✓Best bases: Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney.
Frisco - and how to use this
Frisco is the fast-growing northern edge (The Star, PGA of America, TIAA). The key move:
- ✓Pick your suburb by commute to the specific campus, not the corridor name.
- ✓A Richardson job and a Frisco job point to very different neighborhoods - 20-30 minutes apart in traffic.
