Dallas is the top city for corporate headquarters locations according to a new survey by Site Selection Magazine.
In the annual survey, 36 site selection consultants were asked to name their top three cities for corporate headquarters locations—and Dallas appeared on more lists than any other city in the nation. The honor marks a back-to-back No. 1 ranking, as DFW was also the top pick in the 2024 survey.
“The Dallas Regional Chamber is delighted that our intentional efforts to build our region’s brand within the site selection community are being reflected,” said Mike Rosa, Senior Vice President of Prosperity and Economic Development at the Dallas Regional Chamber (DRC). “We work hard to build and maintain relationships with site consultants and keep our brand strong for them. They are an important constituent for the chamber because of their role in advising corporations on where to locate.”
Site selection consultants represent thousands of companies in their corporate location decisions. As a partner of the National Site Selectors Guild, the DRC meets with consultants individually when traveling or working on specific projects and at semiannual Guild forums. The DRC has twice hosted Guild forums in Plano and Dallas.
“For DRC members, it is great to see that the brand of this region for headquarters locations is strong among site consultants who advise companies on where to go,” said Rosa. “It’s great we are top of mind. The recent history of corporate location in our region proves that, and it’s why we have that reputation.”
The subjective survey-based ranking complements Site Selection Magazine’s Governor Cup, recognizing the state with the most new and expanded facility projects in a given year. Texas has taken home the cup for 12 years running, with DFW in the lead of Texas metros and sitting just behind Chicago in the nationwide ranking in the most recent ranking from 2024.
In 2024, there were more than 100 corporate location announcements in the DFW region, including more than 30 headquarters projects. DFW also ranks No. 1 in the U.S. for five-year job growth.
