Construction is underway on the Texas Department of Transportation’s new $300 million headquarters in southeast Austin.
The facility, which is expected to be completed in February 2022, will be home to about 2,000 agency employees.
Eventually, it will consolidate TxDOT’s presence in Austin. The agency’s workers are currently spread over three sites across the city.
Those sites are buildings that the agency rents off of East Riverside Drive and offices the agency owns at Camp Hubbard near 35th Street and MoPac Boulevard (Loop 1).
The site of TxDOT’s new headquarters is a 49-acre tract along East Stassney Lane just south of the intersection with Burleson Road. The transportation agency paid $8.9 million for the property in 2017. It is now appraised at $9.6 million, according to the Travis Central Appraisal District.
