- Wells Fargo’s $570M North Texas campus is now fully operational, with 4,500 employees working across two 10-story towers in Irving’s Las Colinas Urban Center.
- The 850K SF complex is Wells Fargo’s first net-positive energy campus, powered in part by rooftop solar panels and on-site battery storage.
- Dallas-Fort Worth’s financial influence is growing, with other major players like Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, and NYSE expanding in the region.
A Strategic Move To North Texas
Wells Fargo’s newest office campus underscores a major shift in the US financial landscape, reports CoStar. Located 12 miles from downtown Dallas, the two-building development is part of a larger migration of financial firms to the region, drawn by a favorable business climate and deep talent pool.
The San Francisco-based bank relocated 10 business lines into the 850K SF site over the last month. Designed to support hybrid work, the campus will serve as a major operational hub for the bank’s national footprint.
A Campus Built For Collaboration
The facility’s layout emphasizes open-plan offices and shared workspaces, reflecting the company’s push for more collaboration. Amenities include a full dining hall, a staffed coffee bar, a wellness center, and outdoor terraces overlooking Lake Carolyn.
In addition to its design perks, the project marks Wells Fargo’s first energy net-positive campus, producing more energy than it uses via rooftop solar and on-site battery storage. Even during outages, the facility is built to remain fully operational.
High-tech conference rooms feature smart occupancy sensors and privacy-enabled windows for secure meetings. These upgrades create a cutting-edge workplace environment designed to retain and attract top talent.

Part Of A Broader Financial Migration
The new campus joins a wave of financial institutions expanding into the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Goldman Sachs is building an 800K SF complex near downtown as Nasdaq and NYSE expand their regional presence.
Dallas-Fort Worth is now being recognized as a diversified financial hub, rivaling traditional finance centers like Charlotte. The region has proven attractive thanks to Texas’s economic resilience, which includes 6.8% GDP growth in Q2 2025, surpassing the national average and even the economies of Canada and Russia.
Government Support And Long-Term Commitment
Wells Fargo received a $30M incentive package from the city of Irving and a $5.4M grant from the Texas Enterprise Fund to support the project. Texas Governor Greg Abbott attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony, praising the region’s growing financial infrastructure.
“This campus really does solidify the importance of the Dallas-Fort Worth area for us,” said CEO Charlie Scharf, who emphasized the company’s long-term commitment to the state.
Looking Ahead
The project signals a broader trend in commercial real estate where office spaces are evolving into amenity-rich, energy-efficient campuses that support hybrid work and employee wellness. Wells Fargo’s new Texas campus signals where the financial industry is heading, beyond just being a workplace.
As more financial firms expand in Texas, Dallas-Fort Worth is rapidly emerging as the new epicenter of US finance.
