Fasten your seat belts: tech is driving Austin, Texas again, and the brokers in the pit can’t change the tires fast enough. We’ll be on the scene for our first event there July 19—c’mon down and join us. (Sign up now.)

It ain’t just Dell that defines Austin now. Facebook has taken 60k SF in this office building on 6th Street for its largest office outside Silicon Valley (can we get a “Like” button?). We were able to tour the ultra-cool facility but had to agree not to take pictures—so that’s why you just see the outside. |
