Austin real estate news

Apple's recent decision to lease an entire 82,000-square-foot office building in West Austin is a significant development, shining a positive light on the Austin market, which has faced challenges with high office vacancies post-pandemic. The lease of the Las Cimas I building, located about 10 miles west of downtown, is part of Apple's ongoing expansion in the Austin area. This move not only highlights Apple's commitment to the region but also signifies the underlying strength of the Austin market as a whole.

The tech giant's $18 million renovation of the three-story building at 804 Las Cimas Parkway underscores the company's investment in creating a modern, conducive work environment. Apple, already one of the region's largest private employers with nearly 10,000 employees, is enhancing its presence with this new lease, complementing its $1 billion campus under construction in Northwest Austin.

Apple's investment in Austin extends beyond physical office spaces. The company has been relocating specialized personnel, including those working on artificial intelligence and Siri technology, from San Diego to Austin. This move not only enriches the local talent pool but also solidifies Austin's position as a tech hub, attracting high-caliber professionals and fostering innovation within the region.

The sprawling campus in Northwest Austin, which will feature 12 office buildings filled with amenities, parking garages, and even a daycare, illustrates the comprehensive approach Apple is taking to support its employees and contribute to the local economy. The possibility of adding a 192-room hotel and conference center further highlights the potential for growth and development in the area.

Apple's lease in Westlake, marking the fourth-largest in Austin since the previous year, follows other significant leases, such as IBM's commitment to 320,000 square feet in North Austin. These developments collectively underscore the resilience and attractiveness of the Austin market, demonstrating confidence from major corporations in its potential for sustained growth and innovation.

Apple's expansion through the full-building lease in West Austin is not just a testament to the company's growth strategy but also a reflection of the strength and vibrancy of the Austin market. As one of the leading tech companies globally, Apple's deepening roots in Austin are a bullish signal for the city's economic and technological future, promising continued prosperity and positioning Austin as a key player in the tech industry.

“I highly recommend Jonny as a realtor to help sell your home! He comes with all the skills and contacts (contractors, stagers, designers, etc.) to make the process successful. He is a great listener and highly responsive. We could not have asked more from a realtor to help us selling our first home. Thanks Tim!”

“My husband and I were the first time home buyers. We contacted Jonny just couple of months after moving to San Francisco. Simon really helped us to learn about different neighbourhoods in SF. He showed us all the apartments that we wanted to visit even the ones that we could not afford. He is a good negotiator and we end of buying an apartment below the asked price.”

“After meeting with a few real estate agents, we decided to choose Jonny for our home purchase and we were not disappointed. Tim was always a text or a phone call away and provided us with everything we needed and more. He was with us every step of the way during the experience and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent. He is extremely knowledgable of the current market landscape and helped us negotiate for an offer below asking in the San Francisco market (amazing right?!). He is kind, friendly and will always have your best interest in mind when he is assisting in your home purchase. We wholeheartedly believe that if we had chosen another real estate agent to work with we might not have been able to purchase our home since Tim brings a bunch of intangible skills to the table that other agents simply do not possess. We would highly recommend Tim to our friends and family and we will not think twice about working with him again in the future.”
