HomeAway Austin opens 115,000-SF office at the Domain

AUSTIN – Online travel marketplace business HomeAway Inc. has opened an office at 11800 Domain Dr., across from Whole Foods Market. The 114,665-sf office is HomeAway’s fourth Austin-area office.

In the spring, retail tenants are expected to occupy the first floor of the building and additional HomeAway employees will occupy the fourth and fifth floors once they are completed.

Currently, HomeAway at The Domain has about 300 employees and by April, the company hopes to have more than 750, said CEO and Founder Brian Sharples.

"HomeAway was founded in Austin nine years ago with a staff of six, and today has more than 920 local employees and more than 1,720 worldwide," Sharples said.

"We are still a relatively young company, and there is a lot of opportunity ahead of us, which means we will continue growing our headcount in Austin for the foreseeable future."
