The groundbreaking could happen as early as 2023, the company said. The land was purchased by local developers and zoning, water and wastewater entitlements have already been secured. The project has a Capex of roughly $1.3 billion.

    @Jose Guerrero neither the article or the company website provide an exact location other than just south of the airport.  Looking at available land parcels in the southeast Austin area I highly suspect it will be between ABIA and the F1 track.  Worth noting the surf park is 12 acres alone but the entire development will sit on 400 acres and has a budget over $1 Billion.  With the F1 contract being extended through 2026 that could mean big things for this area.  F1 brings in more money to the Austin economy than SXSW or ACL, in fact an article in the ABJ pointed out the F1 event revenue generated is roughly twice that of the super bowl.  

    I'll link that article here as well for anyone that is interested:
