Austin American-Statesman moving near airport

The Austin American-Statesman is moving in 2021 to MetCenter, a business park near Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The paper’s owner, Gannett, has signed a lease for more than 34,000 square feet of space at the corporate park, the paper reported.

The paper’s current 19-acre site at 305 S. Congress Ave., on Lady Bird Lake, into set to be transformed into a mixed-use project with office, residential, hotel, retail and restaurant space, the paper said.

“It is bittersweet to be leaving the South Congress location after so many years, but we are excited to build out a totally new location and design in a way that better fits the needs of our more modern and digitally forward news and advertising operations, including state of the art video and audio studios,” Patrick Dorsey, publisher of the American-Statesman, told the paper. “The MetCenter keeps us in a very convenient location for accessing the downtown business district as well as to the growing suburbs and cities within our greater Austin coverage area.”
