South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics confirmed it will relocate its U.S. headquarters from Englewood, New Jersey, to its existing campus in Plano, Texas, consolidating operations at the Legacy Central development by the end of 2026.
The Seoul-based company already maintains a sprawling footprint in the Dallas suburb, where it has operated for over 30 years. The Legacy Central campus will be formally designated as Samsung’s U.S. headquarters, less than a year after the company opened a new 321,000-square-foot facility in New Jersey.
Samsung said the relocation is part of a broader business transformation designed to better position the organization for long-term growth. The company stated the transition is intended to strengthen alignment across teams and offices and sharpen its focus on areas that will drive the greatest impact for customers, partners, and business.
According to The Korea Times, approximately 1,000 employees will relocate as part of the move. Samsung also indicated it would be optimizing parts of the organization to align with business priorities, which will affect staffing. The company did not confirm whether it would abandon its New Jersey facility.
The move represents a significant corporate real estate win for the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, which has been attracting major corporate relocations in recent years. Plano’s Legacy Central development has emerged as a hub for technology companies, offering a combination of modern office space, amenities, and proximity to a growing talent pool in the northern suburbs.
Samsung’s decision to consolidate its U.S. headquarters in Texas aligns with a broader trend of technology and financial services firms relocating operations to the state, drawn by lower operating costs and favorable business conditions. The company’s existing 30-year presence in Texas provided a foundation for the consolidation, reducing the risks typically associated with a headquarters relocation.
The move comes as Samsung continues to expand its domestic manufacturing footprint, including a major semiconductor facility under development in Taylor, Texas, near Austin. The headquarters relocation and manufacturing investments together represent billions of dollars in Texas-based commitments by the company.
