SolarWinds will move its corporate headquarters from Southwest Parkway to a new office near the edge of Zilker Park. The software company signed a lease for 100,000 square feet in the recently completed Zilker Point building on South Lamar Boulevard.
Why it matters
The move brings the tech firm and its 400 local employees closer to the city center and away from its current site at 7171 Southwest Parkway. The shift marks a notable transition for a longtime local employer to the popular South Lamar corridor.
SolarWinds signed a lease for 100,000 square feet, taking up more than half of the 191,000-square-foot Zilker Point building. The office move will eventually support the company's 400 existing Austin-based employees.
