Case Study

State Farm Regional Headquarters

The Challenge

State Farm’s vision for its new regional headquarters was ambitious: create a modern-day company town within a 186-acre master plan. The project, led by KDC, brought together consultants and partners to deliver a mixed-use, transit-oriented development with office, residential, hospitality, retail, medical, and entertainment spaces — all integrated with light rail access.

At the core was 1.5 million square feet of leased office space, the largest office lease in Dallas history. The challenge for ABLe was to design and install a telecom cabling system robust enough to serve this massive new campus, while accommodating thousands of employees across multiple towers and specialty spaces.

The Solution

ABLe provided a complete structured cabling solution to support State Farm’s voice, data, wireless, A/V, and security needs. The scope included backbone cabling, horizontal cabling, and system connectivity throughout three towers and associated garages.

With extensive project management, ABLe coordinated closely with KDC and State Farm to ensure that all cabling was installed, terminated, tested, and labeled to strict performance standards — while also managing owner-provided materials.

Services Provided

Services provided include:

25-pair copper backbone cabling
50-pair ARMM backbone cabling
Optical fiber backbone
Horizontal cabling for work areas, conference rooms, training rooms, offices, and specialty spaces
Cabling for Wireless Access Points (WAPs)
A/V connectivity across meeting and collaboration spaces
Integration support for State Farm’s data network, wireless LAN, A/V systems, and security infrastructure

The Results

The project showcased ABLe’s ability to deliver on a massive scale with precision and consistency. Across three towers and multiple facilities, ABLe installed, tested, and managed the telecom cabling that supports one of the largest corporate leases in Dallas history to power the daily operations of thousands of employees.

The structured cabling system spanned three towers at the Richardson campus:

Tower 1 / Garage 1 – 1150 State Street
Tower 2 / Garage 2 – 1201 State Street
Tower 3 / Garage 3 – 1251 State Street

The completed system included:

A backbone distribution system connecting the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) to Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDFs), entrance facilities, and special-purpose rooms
A horizontal distribution system supporting State Farm’s enterprise network, WLAN, A/V, and security systems
Comprehensive testing, labeling, and documentation for long-term operational reliability
