Major tenants

Ensco International has its corporate headquarters in Suite 4300 in the building.[4] In 2009 Ensco announced that it will move its headquarters to London and become a British-registered company. The company said that it does not plan to move "a large number" of employees to London. The COO of the company will remain in Dallas.[5]

At one time Halliburton had its headquarters in Lincoln Plaza.[6] As of 2002 20 employees worked in the building.[7] The company moved its headquarters from the Southland Life Building to 50,648 square feet (4,705.4 m2) of space in Lincoln Plaza in 1985.[6] Halliburton planned to move its headquarters to Houston in 2002.[8] Halliburton was scheduled to move to 5 Houston Center in Downtown Houston in 2003.[7]
