What's happening in Bastrop
While the metro sits at a near-record ~15–16% vacancy, Bastrop County industrial vacancy has run around 4%, among the tightest in the region.
Almost no spec development went there. Demand from SpaceX, the film studios and the trades is growing, and the county has been friendly to industrial and outdoor storage.
What it means for owners
Your building is scarce and prices accordingly. A sale-leaseback here finds a buyer fast.
What it means for tenants
You don't have Southeast Austin leverage here. You take the space that exists, so move early.
What it means for investors
One of the few places small-bay flex and yards actually pencil for development. Buyers of land to build their own shop should check utilities, septic and county rules early.
