Austin Chamber Weighing Move From CBD

AUSTIN-Six buildings make the short list as the Austin Chamber of Commerce looks at all options for office accommodations that could take the nonprofit from the downtown to the suburbs. The chamber's 17,000-sf lease is up in October.

AUSTIN-The Austin Chamber of Commerce’s search for office space has been narrowed to six buildings and tours of those buildings this week should trim the field even more.

The chamber, currently ensconced in 17,000 sf at One Congress in the CBD, is considering staying put, but also is looking at other downtown and suburban buildings, says Colliers Oxford Commercial’s Rick Whiteley who’s conducting the search with his colleague Bob Wynn. The chamber’s lease at One Congress is up in October.

The new space would be 12,000 sf to 15,000 sf in a building that’s convenient for members and employees and has good value, Whiteley tells GlobeSt.com. “I think their preference would be to stay downtown,” he says. “But because they are a nonprofit, they’re looking to achieve the best value. So we’re evaluating downtown as well as some suburban locations.”
