We\u2019ll be the first to say it, we think Facebook is expanding their office in Austin!
\n<\/p>\n

Recent building permits added to Buildzoom\u2019s system for suites 900 through 1200 at 300 W 6th Street alerted us to the work. As far as we know, Facebook is located on just the 10th floor of the building. Although the permits do not indicate when Facebook began leasing each suite, it appears to be connecting floors 9 through 12, essentially quadrupling their initial space.<\/p>\n

Starting at the beginning of 2016 we have seen twenty-four permits<\/strong> filed across the four floors. According to permit estimates the work to date totals $11.2 million.<\/strong> In addition to a general remodel on all four floors, permits indicate there is a $4.9 million<\/strong> interior remodel to create an accessory food service for employees only, an internal staircase connecting the four floors, and an external stairway giving the 9th floor direct access to the adjacent eight story parking lot. Permits also show us the space occupied by the office on each floor is a little over 27,000 square feet, meaning the total office is around 108,000 square feet.<\/p>\n

Belfour Beatty Construction<\/a><\/u> has been hired by Facebook for the project. You can see all the permits filed for the project and follow the progress of the work on each of our pages for the suites where there is work being done. Work is still going on so make sure not to miss any updates!
