The Domain is Going to New Heights!

Posted on by author

It is said Domain Tower 2 will be 24 stories and have 330,000 square feet of office space. This second tower is a continuation of the plans to make The Domain Austin’s second “downtown” hub. As huge technology companies are seeing a need for larger space in close proximity to amenities they can offer to employees, construction companies are meeting those demands by expanding The Domain.

Overall, The Domain is about 300 acres of land split amongst a variety of offices, retail spaces, and residences. There are more projects coming soon, including a 20-story, 345,000 square-foot Domain Tower 3, and a proposed 22-story Domain Tower 4. The plan to continue development of The Domain includes a 15 phase plan, and Domain Tower 2 is just one step in the overall goal of bringing 3 million square feet of class A office space, 2,500 multifamily units, 50,000-square feet of restaurants, and a hotel to the area.

While no one has yet signed on to take over the office spaces in Domain Tower 2, there’s no doubt there will be a variety of companies interested due to its great location and competitive markets. The demand is strong and only continues to grow in this area. If you’re curious about how the area in North Austin has changed with the expansion of The Domain, give our team a call. We’re happy to give you a glimpse into how the area has changed and how it will continue to do so in the coming years.

Mixed-Use Developments are the City’s New Domain

If you’ve spent any time in North Austin, we’re sure you’ve been to The Domain. It’s been revered as a success to many in the business community and is even viewed as a development the community has to match. 

But, just like any other story, there’s another side to consider. In fact, many people think the development was a missed opportunity. They believe the area had the potential to be a more walkable and integrated retail and business area.

The Domain has expanded to cover more than 300 acres and holds offices for some of the largest companies and employers in Austin. From Facebook to Indeed, you’ll find many employees driving in for work in this neighborhood. On top of those office spaces, you’ll find thousands of apartments and more than 1.8 million square feet of retail space. With hotels in the neighborhood as well, this mixed-use space has it all.

While The Domain continues to grow, other developers are taking the feedback on how to improve the project to heart and using it for their own designs, including one that’s coming to Round Rock! A developer wants to put in a $200 million mixed-use space near I-35 and State Highway 45 that takes guidance from The Domain.

Developers are calling the project “The District” and hope to give it a 24/7 vibe that appeals to younger demographics and will be minutes from Dell’s headquarters. The project was first proposed in 2017 and plans have started moving forward to get started on the development. It’ll be exciting to see if The District rivals the same success as The Domain and what new retailers, entertainment spots, and offices we’ll be able to find here soon! 

If this new development has made you excited or even curious about Round Rock and the Greater Austin area, give us a call! We’re always happy to talk about neighborhoods and changes to properties throughout the area.
