I have to say I'm not liking it when companies build their new headquarters in DOWNTOWN in a FOUR STORY office building, and then 2 years later seek space elsewhere in another building. Whole Foods, Homeaway, ABC Bank, Cirrus Logic, etc. I know it sometimes just has to be that they build their own office space in a small building since the market isn't always supporting a major tower. I'm not criticizing these companies, I just wish there was a better way of doing it. I know it's possible to tear down some of those smaller buildings to make way for larger ones later, but that's not likely, and it has hardly ever happened in Austin. That would also go against the ideals of Austin since it would mean creating a lot of waste.

Of course, I don't want to criticize these companies since having them in downtown at all is a good thing. I just wish there was a bit more better planning.
