E-commerce giant Amazon is planning a major expansion in Austin.

Amazon says it will create more than 2,000 corporate and tech jobs in Austin over the next few years.

The new roles will support teams in operations technology, retail, business and web services. Positions will include senior data engineers, senior technical program managers, user experience designers and financial analysts.
To accommodate the growth, Amazon has leased 330,000 square feet of space at a new building being developed by Cousins Properties at the Domain in North Austin. The new office space is planned to open in early 2024.

Amazon currently has more than 3,000 tech and corporate employees at its Austin Tech Hub in three locations at the Domain.

Seems like a good omen for Uptown ATX and Domain South End (DT 3 & 4) getting built out faster. I wonder what the competitive atmosphere is like between Cousins/Endeavor, Brandywine and Stonelake all building huge projects in such close quarters. It's still pretty incredible to think about how much more capacity can still be added to this area even before considering the various smaller players.
