Austin Tech Hub is one of the company\u2019s 17 North American Tech Hubs\u2014a network of development centers in addition to the Seattle and Northern Virginia headquarters.<\/p>\n

To make room for the additional jobs in Texas\u2019 capital, the company will expand into a new 145,000-square-foot office in The Domain, slated to open in 2020. Specifically, the new office will be located in Domain 10, a 15-story 299,673-square-foot development located at 11815 Alterra Parkway. The LEED Silver-seeking project is owned by TIER REIT, which is co-developing the property with Endeavor Real Estate Group.<\/p>\n

Growing Texas<\/h2>\n

Amazon has invested more than $7 billion in Texas since 2011, from building customer fulfillment facilities, cloud infrastructure and a 253-megawatt wind farm<\/a>. Moreover, the company estimated that these direct investments contributed more than $5 billion to the state\u2019s economy between 2011 and 2017 and generated an additional 30,000 indirect jobs on top of the company\u2019s direct hires. More than 130,000 authors, developers and small and medium-sized businesses in Texas are growing their businesses with Amazon, according to a company statement.<\/p>\n

The firm\u2019s Austin-based teams focus on Amazon Web Services, Amazon Business, Amazon devices, video games design, advertising and more. \u201cIn the last four years, we have created more than 1,000 jobs in Austin,\u201d<\/em> Terry Leeper, general manager of Amazon\u2019s Austin Tech Hub, said in prepared remarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmazon\u2019s decision to further expand comes with the recognition that Texas continues to boast a pro-business environment that helps businesses and families to grow, thrive, and succeed,\u201d <\/em>added Congressman Michael McCaul. \u201cThis expansion will help ensure Austin remains at the cutting-edge of the tech that\u2019s fueling and driving emerging markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
