Richardson Innovation Quarter (The IQ®)

Richardson has always been ahead of the curve, leading in technology, innovation, and education.

Our legacy dates back to the Space Race in the 1950s, and today, The Innovation Quarter® acts as a living laboratory for innovation.

With 30 million square feet of real estate, The IQ® offers a vibrant mix of office, lab, manufacturing, and residential space — all powered by high-speed fiber, robust utilities, and great transit access.

The IQ® is more than just a business district — it’s a live-work-play-learn innovation hub uniquely positioned to support tech commercialization, venture funding, and industry partnerships, unmatched for its sheer scale and potential.

Richardson-IQ
