NTT DATA, currently located in Granite Park, will occupy five floors or about 41 percent of the 14-story office building located at 7950 Legacy Drive, Plano, in the Legacy West mixed-use development.

“We live for days like this and we are thrilled that NTT DATA has chosen to expand its footprint in Plano,” Plano Mayor Harry LaRosiliere said in a news release. “This represents the convergence of a class AA building and a global blue chip company in the City of Excellence.”

Japan-based NTT DATA, which acquired Dell Services in November, is an international technology firm and has more than 100,000 employees in approximately 50 countries. NTT Data moved its headquarters from Boston to Dallas in 2013, and in 2014, the company relocated to Granite Park, doubling its office space to 50,000 square feet.

The company’s new North American headquarters will have about 600 employees made up of new hires and people relocating from the current Plano location and across the continent, according to the release.

“With our recent acquisition of Dell Services, we’re able to bring two local IT services leaders together into one headquarters, which resulted in the need to expand facilities,” CEO of NTT DATA John McCain said in the release. “The city of Plano has been very supportive, and One Legacy West is an excellent option in terms of quality and size for our needs.”

NTT DATA’s name will be placed at the top of One Legacy West facing SH 121.
