MD7 expands Allen headquarters, plans to double local workforce

MD7 added nearly 13,000 square feet to its Allen headquarters, bringing the office footprint to about 38,700 square feet and deepening its stake in one of Collin County’s fastest-growing corporate corridors. The digital infrastructure consulting firm marked the expansion with a June 9 ribbon-cutting at One Bethany West at Watters Creek.

The bigger office is more than a real estate upgrade. MD7 said it had 150 employees when it moved its headquarters from San Diego to Allen in 2021 and expects to have more than 300 by 2030, turning the new space into a sign of continued hiring and longer-term growth in the city. That 2021 relocation was initially projected to create 218 jobs and bring more than $6.8 million in capital investment, with the Texas Enterprise Fund approving a $773,000 grant that included a $10,000 veteran-created job bonus.

MD7’s business model helps explain why Allen is becoming a stronger fit. The company works with clients deploying wireless and broadband networks across North America and Europe, placing its headquarters inside the broader digital-infrastructure economy rather than a narrow local office market. Allen Economic Development Corporation leaders have said the company chose Allen for its workforce quality, top-tier schools and the amenity-rich One Bethany at Watters Creek campus, a 17-acre, multi-phase Class A office park that has continued to add tenants since 2018, when One Bethany East opened with Credit Union of Texas as anchor tenant.

The expansion also gives residents a clearer read on what corporate growth can mean on the ground. More offices can translate into more lunch traffic for nearby coffee shops and restaurants, more commuting activity and, over time, a larger tax base tied to commercial property and payroll. Allen City Council member David Ellis pointed to those ripple effects, and a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing shows the 2026 renovation at 950 W. Bethany Drive, Suite 600, Allen, Texas 75013 was privately funded, started Feb. 27 and was scheduled to finish June 29 at an estimated cost of $800,000.
