Relocating to the South


HOUSTON – From Arizona to Texas to North Carolina, the Sun Belt is becoming a hot spot for business relocation. Companies across America are cutting costs by moving south. And, that’s fueling a housing boom in Texas.

Jeff Holzmann is the CEO of IRM Services, an asset management company. He says the move from The New York-New Jersey area to Dallas has saved the company millions in under two years.

"I would say that on a per-foot basis, per employee we pay about 60% down here in Dallas where I am today compared to what we would pay in New Jersey, and it’s even less if we were comparing to our New York City/Manhattan offices," Holzmann said.

He added that the Sun Belt region is different than it was 30-40 years ago. "It’s a fantastic place to be. The prices are affordable, the talent is around and is seeking an opportunity."




The Texas population increased by over 300,000 people last year, and part of that increase is due to all the businesses relocating to the Lone Star state.

He said the COVID-19 pandemic also played a factor in this business relocation. "The comeback to work was so much quicker down in Dallas and down South," Holzmann said.

Employees like Barbara Kogler, who also relocated from the north, said the move was a win.

"It’s a little bit cheaper here, and I’m making better money," Kogler said.
