Whole Foods Market Inc. on Thursday outlined its plans for a major expansion in downtown Austin, bringing closer to reality its vision for a future corporate campus surrounding its world headquarters and flagship store.
The campus would encompass multiple properties, including a shopping center purchased in May across the street from its home base at West Sixth Street and North Lamar Boulevard called 524 Lamar and a property purchased last year that houses the Whit Hanks Antiques store at 1009 West Sixth Street.
Whole Foods purchased the shopping center — which houses Chico’s, By George, Free People, Paper Source and other tenants — for an undisclosed price. The company will honor the existing leases.
