Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of Facebook, is expanding its operations in Texas. The social networking behemoth has leased half of what would be Austin's tallest building, making it the state's newest large enterprise to grow. According to a spokeswoman for Meta, the building would be leased for 589,000 square feet over 33 stories, corroborating a previous story from the Austin Business Journal. It will take up the whole commercial half of a 66-story tower now under construction in Austin's downtown neighborhood.
