Brandywine might be in a stronger position with Amazon's expansion plans than previously thought. Via the Statesman:
EXCLUSIVE: Amazon has quietly more than doubled its Austin presence in past year
Company execs also discussed something called ‘Project Rainforest’ with economic development officials, but city and chamber decline to talk about it.
Posted October 4th, 2017
Amazon has more than doubled its Austin workforce in the past year, and indications are that more local growth could be in the works, separate from the e-commerce giant’s splashy purchase of Austin-based Whole Foods Market and its high-profile search for a second corporate headquarters.
The company, which opened an Austin office in 2015, has increased its local footprint from 350 employees last year to more than 900 now, with another 100 positions currently open but unfilled, Amazon confirmed to the American-Statesman.
Amazon has largely settled on the Domain in North Austin as a hub for its Austin operations. The Seattle-based company occupies about 250,000 square feet of office space in two new buildings at the Domain, a large mixed-used project between MoPac Boulevard (Loop1) and Burnet Road.
