AT&T global HQ under new ownership

​​​​​DALLAS – The landmark tower and plaza that houses AT&T Inc.’s global headquarters has been purchased by Dundon Capital Partners and Woods Capital.

The investment firms bought the 37-story, 965,800-sf building at 208 S. Akard St. from Icahn Enterprises.

Whitacre Tower, also called One AT&T Plaza, is fully leased to the telecom giant through August 2030. The building has served as the company’s headquarters since 2008, when AT&T moved ​from San Antonio. 

Ground-floor renovations taking place at the property are part of the $100 million AT&T Discovery District project​. 

When completed, several city blocks will be converted to pedestrian-only access. Neighborhood amenities will include 40,000 sf of restaurant and retail space, a two-story food hall with balcony dining, outdoor gathering and performance areas, a water garden, and a six-story video wall.​
