Amber Oaks has added two new buildings: an addition of 150,000 square feet to the already existing 10-building office park located at the southwest corner of RR 620 and Parmer Lane in northwest Austin. The new buildings H and I have 100,000 square feet 50,000 square feet respectively, with a parking ratio of 5:1,000. This new addition was completed last September and no leases have been signed for space in the new buildings.

Amber Oaks is conveniently located next to Lifetime Fitness, a 120,000 square feet fitness center with various playing courts, a rock-climbing wall, pool and state-of-the-art equipment. There are 40 restaurants within two miles of Amber Oaks, and developers are adding three retail pad sites.
