Texas has emerged as one of the most business-friendly states in the United States, attracting massive corporate relocations from California, New York and Illinois over the past decade. With zero state income tax, a streamlined regulatory environment, abundant land and a rapidly growing population of 30+ million people, Texas offers companies a compelling combination of low operating costs and access to a young, diverse and fast-growing consumer market. Renting office space in Texas means joining the ranks of Tesla, Oracle, HP, Dell, Samsung, Toyota, American Airlines, AT&T, ExxonMobil and hundreds of other global companies that have established their Texas presence. Texas's four major metropolitan areas — Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio — each offer distinct business environments and office markets. The state's total GDP of over $2 trillion makes it the second-largest state economy in the US, and its rate of growth in office-using employment has consistently outpaced the national average.
