TI Doubles Down in Tucson with $11.6M Acquisition at Williams Centre

TUCSON, AZ (June 2, 2025) — Texas Instruments (TI), a global powerhouse in analog and embedded semiconductor technology, is expanding its Tucson footprint once again with the $11.6 million purchase of a landmark office building at 5411 E Williams Blvd, a move that cements the company’s long-term investment in Southern Arizona’s innovation economy.

BP 5411 Investors, LLC, an affiliate of Tucson-based Bourn Partners, was the seller in the transaction, which closed on May 28, 2025.

Reclaiming a Familiar Hub

The 124,097-square-foot, Class A office building is no stranger to TI. Once the company’s primary Tucson base, the three-wing structure features clean rooms, 26 testing labs, raised flooring, conference rooms, and over 660 parking spaces. TI vacated the building in 2022, relocating operations to adjacent facilities; however, the recent acquisition signals a strategic move to secure future capacity and maintain flexibility for operational expansion.

A Campus Years in the Making

TI’s presence at the Williams Centre Technology Campus has grown steadily since 2018, when it acquired 8.28 acres at 301 S. Williams Blvd. for $4.96 million. There, TI developed a $29 million, three-story, 125,000-square-foot engineering and administrative facility with capacity for 330 employees. The project was backed by nearly $460,000 in local incentives and constructed by Sundt Construction.

A Triad of Innovation

Today, TI operates from multiple buildings within the business park:

• 251 – 301 S Williams Blvd – TI’s custom-built facility opened after the 2018 acquisition;
• 5401 & 5421 E Williams Blvd – Another hub supporting engineering operations, and now;
• 5411 E Williams Blvd – Recently reacquired for $11.6 million.

This strategic cluster positions TI as a dominant force within the Williams Centre. Texas Instruments in Tucson designs and manufactures semiconductors. It offers proprietary, standard, high-performance, analog, and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) used in electronic signal processing. The organization primarily operates in the Microcircuits, Integrated (Semiconductor) business/industry within the Electronic & Other Electrical Equipment & Components sector

Legacy and Growth

TI’s roots in Tucson trace back to its acquisition of Burr-Brown Corporation in 2000. Now, with a renewed focus on expanding in one of the city’s premier business campuses, Texas Instruments continues to drive high-wage job creation, advanced manufacturing, and engineering innovation in the region.
