The Texas Stock Exchange is considering the Bank of America Tower at Parkside in Uptown Dallas as a possible location for its permanent headquarters, according to a March 13 report. The 30-story building, which is still under construction near Klyde Warren Park, would become the tallest tower in Uptown once completed.

The decision on where to locate the exchange’s flagship home, known as the Texas Market Center, has drawn attention from Dallas real estate observers. The center is expected to include executive offices, a Texas business museum, and a broadcast studio for opening and closing trading ceremonies—features designed to mirror those of established exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange.

The Texas Stock Exchange was announced in 2024 and quickly attracted significant financial backing. Initial funding exceeded $100 million from firms such as BlackRock, Citadel Securities, and Charles Schwab. That amount has since grown to about $275 million with additional investments from Goldman Sachs and Bank of America. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved the exchange last fall, allowing it to move forward with plans to launch its trading platform later this year. Listings for exchange-traded products are expected in 2026, followed by corporate listings.

Currently operating out of temporary offices in Dallas’ Knox-Henderson neighborhood, the exchange’s long-term vision centers on establishing itself within Dallas’ growing financial district. Advertising campaigns and renderings have suggested potential locations near Victory Park or Uptown.

The Bank of America Tower at Parkside is being developed by KDC along with Pacific Elm Properties, the Miyama Family, and Sixth Street Capital as owners. Bank of America will be an anchor tenant with more than 238,000 square feet across several floors. Construction at 1919 Woodall Rodgers Freeway is scheduled for completion in March 2027.

The area around Klyde Warren Park is emerging as a financial hub for Dallas. JPMorgan Chase recently expanded nearby; Texas Capital Bancshares and the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas are also located within blocks; and Goldman Sachs is building a $500 million campus expected to house over 5,000 employees.
