Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for it; Listen to what Richardson-based companies are saying.

“If you look at the pace at which the city of Richardson moves, it is equal to the pace of business. And it’s an understatement to say that I’ve not seen any other communities move as fast as the City of Richardson.“

~ Mahesh Nandyala

Founder, Startup Runway

“There are so many great things to say about Richardson — from its strong workforce and quality housing to its talented employee base, excellent accessibility, and attractive real estate opportunities.”

~ Chris Taylor

Cushman & Wakefield

“Richardson’s reputation over the years, over my entire career, has been phenomenal, and that’s evidenced by the all-star list of corporations that have chosen to either headquarter here, or have significant presence here. I don’t see that changing anytime in the near future.”

~ Josh White

CBRE

“Richardson has been doing this for a while, and they have experience in corporate relocations, they have expansions. They have some great homegrown companies as well. So, it’s that maturity of the environment here and the ability to get things done.”

~ Kevin Shatley

Dallas Regional Chamber

“We’ve worked all around Dallas with various municipalities, and by far, Richardson has been the easiest to work with. There’s a strong level of trust with the City of Richardson. The city management is very well aligned with the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. That trust has enabled us to complete a second and third project with the city, and we feel very comfortable continuing to invest here. I believe these projects have been successful largely because of that trusted relationship.”
