Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) has opened its new $570 million lakeside campus in Irving’s Las Colinas community just northwest of Dallas, underscoring what the company called an investment in the economic growth of the Dallas-Fort Worth area and the state of Texas. The 850,000-square-foot, two-building facility will bring “will bring together 4,500 employees in a modern, collaborative environment designed to support company growth and community engagement,” the company said.

In the works for years, Wells Fargo’s new North Texas campus has launched amid the region’s growing emergence as a financial center known as Y’all Street. The opening is just the latest sign of that momentum, following the recent launch of NYSE Texas, the planned 2026 launch of the Texas Stock Exchange, and Nasdaq’s plans for a regional HQ in Dallas. 

San Francisco-based Wells Fargo’s new 22-acre campus—overlooking Lake Carolyn at 401 W. Las Colinas Blvd.—literally cements its longstanding presence across the state. The company says it has around 460 branches, 1,500 ATMs, and 17,000 employees serving customers and clients statewide. 

“By bringing our Dallas-Fort Worth area employees together in this dynamic environment, we’re better positioned to support our clients and customers across Texas and the U.S.,” Wells Fargo Chairman and CEO Charlie Scharf said in a statement. “The space was thoughtfully designed to inspire collaboration, drive success, and foster a sense of connection—both within our teams and within the community.”

‘State-of-the-art amenities’—plus solar power, ‘dynamic glass,’ and more

The new campus features “state-of-the-art amenities,” Wells Fargo said, including a dining pavilion, fitness center, walking trails, and direct access to public transit. Aiming to be the company’s first “energy net-positive campus,” it features cutting-edge technology designed to promote energy efficiency and sustainability. Its new buildings are equipped with solar power, smart irrigation systems, and dynamic glass that responds to sunlight and weather for optimal heating, cooling and lighting conditions.

Wells Fargo partnered with KDC Real Estate Development & Investments to develop the campus, which was designed by Corgan and built by Austin Commercial.

Governor Greg Abbott called the campus “more than just a milestone, it’s a testament to the unmatched economic climate we have created in Texas.”

“From world class infrastructure, to a highly skilled workforce, Texas offers everything that job creators need to succeed,” the governor added in a statement. “Texas continues to attract world class employers because they know Texas is where businesses prosper and the future of America’s economy is built. I congratulate Wells Fargo on this achievement and thank them for their investment into the people and livelihood of our state.”

In March 2024, Dallas Innovates wrote about the “topping out” of the project and its goal of providing a shared home base for Wells Fargo’s thousands of local employees. Consolidating multiple Wells Fargo offices that had previously been dotted around Dallas-Fort Worth, the project was aided by a $5 million “deal-closing” grant from the Texas Enterprise Fund, on top of $30 million in incentives approved by the Irving City Council.
