From its accessible location to unique entertainment scene, see why professionals are choosing Allen
Allen has solidified its position as a flourishing technology center, thanks to major investments and growth within the 75 Corridor.
Notably, IntelliEPI, a semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Allen, recently received a $4 million grant through the CHIPS Act -- the largest grant awarded to any Texas company under the program. This funding is set to boost domestic semiconductor production, reinforcing Allen's role in driving technological innovation.
Beyond IntelliEPI, numerous companies along the 75 Corridor are benefiting from Allen's supportive business ecosystem. The corridor's accessibility and space for expansion make it a prime destination for tech firms -- and any other companies -- looking to establish roots or grow.
With the Allen EDC actively supporting businesses through resources and incentives, the city continues to attract innovative companies and skilled professionals eager to join the region's tech renaissance.
Allen's location along the 75 Corridor offers unparalleled convenience and cost savings compared to the DFW area's major tollways. Businesses and employees benefit from a more affordable office market while still enjoying proximity to key areas like Legacy, the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, and other metroplex hotspots.
Companies are even expanding or relocating their offices to Allen for these reasons, including chipmaker Onsemi, who moved its Dallas-Fort Worth design center from Richardson to Allen, and fiber optic company Amphenol, who is expanding its headquarters in Allen.
Commuters appreciate the toll-free connectivity, while employers value the access to a highly educated and talented workforce within a short distance.
Allen provides all the perks of a prime location without the high costs and congestion often associated with the Dallas North Tollway, making it an ideal choice for businesses seeking strategic and practical advantages.
Allen isn't just a great place to work -- it's also an exciting place to play. The city's focus on developing unique and engaging recreational opportunities makes it appealing for workers looking to enjoy life beyond the office.
With over 80 miles of award-winning trails and green spaces, Allen has long been known for its outdoor lifestyle. Now, the city is expanding its entertainment options with exciting new concepts like Chicken N Pickle at The Farm, set to open in spring 2025, and High 5!, a golf and recreation destination debuting in 2026.
Another destination in the area includes Armour Brewing, owned by Mike and Jenn Todryk, the star of HGTV's "No Demo Reno." It is not just a full-scale brewing operation but also a full-service restaurant and bar, serving as a community connection point.
Along the vibrant 121 Corridor, these venues offer unique opportunities for social and active recreation. The city's commitment to fostering authentic, small-business-driven experiences rather than chain-dominated entertainment adds to its charm.
Allen's rapid growth as a tech hub, its strategic location advantages, and its dynamic entertainment scene all contribute to its appeal as a workplace destination. Backed by the Allen Economic Development Corporation's ongoing efforts to support and attract businesses, Allen is poised for continued success.
