We’ve been a proud part of the Austin community for nearly 20 years, moving from our first campus in North Austin to our current one downtown and growing to thousands of employees. And now, we’re deepening our commitment to the Lone Star State with our newest office and Google.org nonprofit venue at Sail Tower.

Located in the heart of the city, this iconic sail-shaped building is a celebration of Texas culture, greeting Googlers with bright colors and local artwork. We’ve designed each floor around a different Texas region, paying homage to the desert wildflowers of Big Bend, the hiking trails of Hill Country, and the thunderstorms of Marfa. The workspace also provides a variety of flexible areas for collaboration, innovation, and focused work, including outdoor terraces with native Texas plants and inspiring views.

Beyond serving as a new home for Googlers, Sail Tower will also welcome in the Austin community. We’re opening a new Google.org venue for nonprofit programming, and local (Austin metro area) nonprofits can book the space for board meetings, workshops, classes, and community events at no cost.

“Spaces like this are absolutely vital for Austin’s nonprofit community,” said Austin Mayor Kirk Watson. “When good neighbors and partners like Google open doors to our local visionaries, they’re not just offering a physical space, they’re strengthening the fabric of Austin and helping our community thrive.”

We’re excited for Sail Tower to become a hub for connection and technological advancement in Austin for years to come.
