TD Ameritrade expands footprint in Dallas-Fort
Worth area with new corporate campus
With the cutting of ceremonial ribbons, TD Ameritrade, Inc.1
marked the official grand opening of its new Operating Center in
Southlake, TX. Built to accommodate the company’s growing business,
the 318,000 square foot, 78-acre facility is now home to
approximately 1,800 TD Ameritrade employees that were located in
the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.
“We selected our new home in Southlake with an eye on the
future. TD Ameritrade’s new Operating Center is intended to support
the continued growth of the company, as well as help our associates
become more efficient, collaborative, and successful in their
careers,” said Tim Hockey, President and CEO at TD Ameritrade.
“This building reflects our commitment to creating a better
experience for those who work at TD Ameritrade.”
The company’s Operating Center consolidated local financial
services, technology and operations staff previously working from
office space in Fort Worth and has capacity for 2,000 employees.
The facility includes a two-story building and a three-story
building connected by a parking lot.
The move to Southlake is also expected to be a benefit for
recruiting. “Relocating 10 miles closer to Dallas will present an
opportunity for us to tap into a larger talent pool,” said Karen
Ganzlin, chief human resources officer at TD Ameritrade. “We are
dedicated to becoming an employer of choice within the Dallas-Forth
Worth metro area by recruiting and retaining talented individuals
to live and work here.”
TD Ameritrade developed its Operating Center in a way that
provides the company with the ability to meet the needs of its
employees and operations as they continue to evolve and grow.
Special amenities include a state of the art fitness facility and a
full-service cafeteria to help employees achieve a better work-life
balance, and focus on wellness. Additionally, training facilities
and multipurpose rooms will allow employees to take advantage of
continuing education opportunities to develop their careers.
“Sustainability has grown increasingly important to us, and when
we have the opportunity to do so, we upgrade our facilities to be
environmentally friendly,” added Hockey. “Our new Southlake
Operating Center was built in alignment with the latest green
building standards and practices, allowing us to develop a facility
that is sustainable as well as comfortable and convenient for
employees.”
TD Ameritrade’s Operating Center is on track to achieve LEED
Gold Certification – the second highest level available – for new
construction and major renovations. The company was able to
preserve 65 percent of the site’s native and adapted vegetation,
nearly 35 percent of the building’s electricity is provided by
renewable energy sources, and 34 percent of building materials were
composed of pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled content, to
name a few of the green practices implemented. If certified by the
U.S. Green Building Council, this will be TD Ameritrade’s fifth
corporate office to be LEED-certified or pending certification.
In addition to Hockey, associates taking part in the ribbon
cutting ceremony were joined by Southlake Mayor Laura Hill,
Southlake Chamber President Mark Guilbert, Adolfson & Peterson
Construction, architect Good Fulton & Farrell and guests.
