Austin is booming when it comes to new residents and businesses moving to the area. There has been a lot of buzz over the past year about the residential market crunch in the city, but not much has been said about commercial space. We get it. Austin is a cool place to be, and better yet, it is a fantastic place to do business. The city is the new mecca for tech companies, health services, creative and digital media and even space technology. Austin is home to the corporate and regional headquarters for many major companies like Cirrus Logic, eBay, Facebook, General Motors and HomeAway. There is a highly educated talent pool of enthusiastic, dedicated professionals who are just waiting for the right company to move in. All of these amazing benefits have attracted many, many, many businesses.
