Continental Battery Systems is packing up its corporate digs in Dallas and heading a few miles up the road to Irving’s Las Colinas, according to company and local officials. The distributor has inked a long-term office deal in a tower on John Carpenter Freeway and plans to pull its corporate staff under one roof in mid‑2026, with about 96 positions either relocating or being newly based in Irving. The move keeps the headquarters inside the Dallas–Fort Worth region while shifting executive operations to a single suburban office floor.
Lease, jobs and incentives
As reported by Dallas Business Journal, Continental signed a 10‑year lease at 750 N. John Carpenter Freeway in Las Colinas. Bisnow reports the company committed to building out its new space and that the Irving City Council signed off on roughly $75,000 in incentives tied to the relocation. Local leasing teams say the incentive package and the decade-long lease are designed to support a mid‑2026 move-in date along with the roughly 96 corporate roles expected to land in the city.
Las Colinas keeps pulling headquarters
Las Colinas continues to lure corporate headquarters and sizable leases even as the submarket absorbs big departures and backfills, with recent announcements showing firms still choosing Irving for centralized office space and quick airport access. A recent corporate filing and press release highlight other companies taking substantial blocks of office space in Las Colinas, and local coverage has tracked a broader wave of headquarters activity across DFW. City and business leaders say those market forces, paired with targeted performance-based incentives, are a big reason smaller and midsize headquarters keep planting their flags in Irving.
What comes next for the company and the market
Deal trackers show Continental will occupy a full floor in the building, roughly 25,793 square feet, and that Cushman & Wakefield handled leasing on the property, according to D Magazine's Deal Ticker. Continental still lists its global headquarters as Dallas on its corporate website, and company materials outline recent leadership changes and growth moves as it expands its national footprint. Brokers and city officials say that combination of a multiyear lease, tenant investment in the space, and a modest city incentive has become the standard formula for keeping corporate headquarters in the DFW market while steering them toward suburban office campuses.
