Texas Quantum Partners and Samara Launch Occam Foundry in Austin

Texas Quantum Partners and Samara, a Texas real estate developer, announced on August 18, 2026, the development of Occam Foundry, a quantum technology campus on a 16.5-acre site in southeastern Travis County near Austin. Earthwork is underway, the first buildings have been designed, and the partnership is in discussions with prospective anchor tenants, quantum companies, and international research partners. The campus is intended to place a working quantum system, fabrication resources, and commercializing companies on one property to support commercialization in quantum technologies spanning sensing, networking, and timing.

Campus Design and Technical Integration

Occam Foundry is structured so that university teams, startups, and a working quantum system operate steps from resources that support the development and fabrication of quantum hardware.

The first phase occupies part of the 16.5-acre site with room for expansion, linking buildings via a shaded central walkway around a courtyard and reflecting pool. Longer-term plans entail materials and process work, prototyping, and characterization so that designs can progress from concept to working system on the same campus.

The site sits in an advanced-manufacturing corridor approximately 15 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and 25 minutes from downtown Austin.

Commercial Development and Regional Impact

The project aligns with the Texas Quantum Initiative, established under House Bill 4751 to advance Texas’s position in the quantum industry and accelerate the integration of quantum computing, networking, and sensing technologies into the state’s economy. State Representative Giovanni Capriglione, author of the bill, stated support for the investment into the quantum supply chain.

Samara, which owns and operates approximately 17 million square feet of land in Texas and serves more than 8,500 tenants according to the announcement, brings long-term development capacity.

Jesse Levine, CEO of Samara, emphasized building places where industries put down roots next to existing advanced manufacturing. The developers project that the campus will support hundreds of new jobs.

Bottom Line

Occam Foundry establishes a quantum technology campus on a 16.5-acre site in the Austin advanced-manufacturing corridor.
