The former location of Toyota's headquarters was Torrance, California, where they supervised 14 regional offices.

[2][3] In 2014 Toyota announced it was moving its United States headquarters to Plano, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The company plans to permanently move most employees by the time of completion of the new headquarters, late 2016 or early 2017, while initially the company will open a temporary office in Texas and move small groups of employees there in the interim.

A spokesperson of Toyota stated that the company, when deciding where to relocate, considered higher education, K-12 schools, access to the airport, and cost of living.

[7] In response to the move, the mayor of Torrance, Frank Scotto, stated that he was "very disappointed" by the decision.

[4] In 2012 a 1.1 megawatt hydrogen fuel cell generator was installed at the campus, giving half of the power for the six buildings during the peak demand period.

[4] On October 31, 1957,[10] Toyota opened its first United States office in a former Rambler/Ford dealership, at 6000 Hollywood Blvd.

[11] After Toyota's departure the Torrance headquarters has been sold for redevelopment and by 2022 the campus has been demolished.
