Business Climate

Richardson redefines what a business hub can be — we are a place where ideas take root and grow.

The City’s express permitting process and collaborative local government leaders are a big part of our success.

With a business-friendly climate optimized for growth and a legacy of innovation, Richardson has long been the destination of choice for technology and professional services companies looking to expand and thrive.

Our affordable office market, access to the DFW region’s robust infrastructure, skilled labor pool, and lower-than-average cost of living are just more great reasons to relocate or expand here. With more than 30 million square feet of office, flex, and industrial space, Richardson provides some of the most competitive commercial real estate pricing in the region — offering office rates up to 40% lower than other North Texas cities, including Frisco and Plano. Texas has been the #1 State for Business for the past 20 years, so a move to Richardson also comes with zero corporate or individual income tax and a pro-business state regulatory environment.
