Google, however, did not comment on the transaction.
The new tower at West Cesar Chavez and Nueces streets will have 790,000 square feet of space, according to the report, which cites local real estate sources.
The news of the investment comes as Google's parent company, Alphabet, reports earnings on Monday.
In December, the search giant announced a $1-billion investment for a new campus in New York City, CNBC reported.
In November, Google announced it would spend $100 million for 21 acres of land for a "mega campus" in San Jose near its headquarters in Mountain View, California.
Earlier in 2018, Google also acquired the Chelsea Market in Manhattan for $2.4 billion -- which was disclosed as the biggest real estate purchase of 2018 in the US.
