Developer Tarlton Properties broke ground Wednesday the first of six buildings planned for a life-sciences campus in Northeast Austin. BillionToOne, a molecular diagnostics company that develops DNA-based tests to detect health problems, will occupy the 220,000-square-foot building, with an expected move-in by the end of 2026. Both Tarlton and BillionToOne operate out of Menlo Park, California.

The planned campus is in the EastVillage ATX, 425-acre mixed-use development on Parmer Lane near Samsung Austin Semiconductor. It should bring about 1 million square feet of life sciences space to the Austin market, Tarlton Properties CEO John Tarlton said.
