Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. is going bigger in Texas.
The company has leased half of what will be Austin’s tallest skyscraper, making the social media giant the latest major business to expand in the state. Meta is leasing 589,000 square feet across 33 floors, a spokesperson said Sunday, confirming an earlier report from the Austin Business Journal. It will account for the entire commercial half of a 66-story tower under construction in the heart of Austin’s downtown area.
