KDC MARKETS 150-ACRE TAYLOR HQ SITE NEXT TO SAMSUNG’S HUGE CHIP PLANT
09/11/24 | KDC Announcements
Thirty-five miles northeast of Austin, TX, is the town of Taylor. Located in Williamson County, Taylor boasts a population of over 17,000 and is known for its outstanding barbecue, live music and small-town charm.
Many organizations, including KDC, are targeting the region for development. Specifically, KDC is developing and marketing the 150-acre Taylor HQ, which fronts Farm-to-Market Road 973. The commercial real estate firm joined forces with Transwestern in offering build-to-suit opportunities for manufacturing, office, logistics, data center and other uses.
An added benefit is that Taylor HQ is adjacent to Samsung’s $17 billion, 1,200-acre semiconductor chip manufacturing plant. The Korean electronics manufacturing giant plans to have the factory operational in 2026. Samsung also announced additional investments totaling $44 billion in Taylor and Austin in exchange for $6.4 billion in direct funding under the CHIPs and Science Act. Samsung’s activity is anticipated to generate at least 21,500 jobs in the area.
“Taylor HQ offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for companies working with Samsung or that are interested in having a high-profile neighbor next door,” said Bill Guthrey, KDC senior vice president of land development. “Our build-to-suit experience allows us to pivot quickly and develop this acreage for a company seeking any number of uses on this prime spot.”
Meanwhile, the University of Texas announced the development of a 68-acre campus in Taylor, which will operate as the UT Austin-Taylor Center for Semiconductor Training and Research. A groundbreaking date hasn’t been announced.
With the activity going on in the region, KDC’s Taylor HQ offers an ideal location in which to set up shop. “We look forward to working with KDC and Transwestern as they help further job creation and economic development in Taylor and the Central Texas region,” said Taylor Mayor Dwayne Ariola.
