📰About Taylor, TX Confidential Project
Samsung Austin Semiconductor has filed for the construction of a two-story, 442,935-square-foot building at 1530 FM 973 in Taylor, Texas. The project, identified in records as the GCS Building, is a new construction development in Williamson County with an estimated cost of $350,000,000. This places the project in the top quarter of new construction filings in the county by cost, significantly exceeding the median estimated cost of $850,000 for similar projects in the area.
The design firm of record is CDM Smith Inc., and the registered accessibility specialist is Stacey L Brewer. The project is privately funded on private land for private use. According to the TDLR filing, plan review was completed in November 2022, and construction was scheduled to begin in the same month with a target completion date of July 2025. The scheduled build window of 999 days is longer than the county median of 245 days for new construction projects.
Project Status and Location
Although the scheduled completion date of July 2025 has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The site is located in ZIP code 76574, which has a population of about 19,746 and a median household income of $72,805 according to U.S. Census estimates. The area is predominantly owner-occupied, with a median home value of $252,000.
The project’s cost per square foot is $790, which is above the county median of $110 per square foot for new construction. Samsung Austin Semiconductor has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $635,592,703, including a $300,000,000 Semiconductor FAB and a $107,000,000 warehouse in Taylor. Nearby businesses include Samsung Austin Semiconductor LLC, SAMOO Trailer, and Samsung T-Camp SAS parking.
Williamson County’s unemployment rate was 4.1 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier. The project’s scale and cost reflect a major industrial investment in the region, with the facility size and cost per square foot indicating a specialized or high-value construction scope. The lack of a final inspection record means the completion status remains unverified in public TDLR data.
