Planned Upgrades Slant Towards Tech

Crews says Dallas is a safe haven market due to fewer developments and consistent absorption.

DALLAS—Diverse may be the most accurate way to describe the Dallas economy and that diversity extends within the tech industry. According to JLL’s US Technology Outlook, Dallas is among the country’s top 10 markets for technology patent generation in the areas of IT, telecom and biotech, with established companies such as AT&T and Texas Instruments providing stability, GlobeSt.com learns in this exclusive.  

“Dallas is one of the most dynamic job markets in the country, with no single industry dominating the landscape,” Jack Crews, managing director with JLL’s capital markets, tells GlobeSt.com. “This also applies to the tech sector where innovation and growth come from brand new startups as well as long-standing firms.”
