What's happening in Burleson Road and Giga Texas
The Southeast submarket is the most oversupplied industrial pocket in Austin, at roughly 25–28% vacancy, because developers built big-box spec space expecting the Tesla supply chain to fill it faster than it has.
Warehouse rents in the Southeast run about $12–$13/SF NNN, well below South Austin flex, and landlords are adding free rent and TI to land tenants. Most of the vacant product is 100,000 SF and up.
What it means for owners
If you own an occupied building here, investors want it, because they can't buy occupied product from the spec developers. A building with a real tenant on a 10-year lease is scarce.
What it means for tenants
It's a tenant's market for large space. For 10,000–40,000 SF with offices, options are thinner, and that's where a tenant rep earns the fee.
What it means for investors
Buy occupied, not empty. Underwrite 18–24 months of lease-up for any vacancy.
Burleson Road and Giga Texas: common questions
We supply Tesla and need to be close to Giga Texas. Where do we go and what does it cost?
Burleson Road, 71 East and the SH 130 side. Southeast warehouse rents run about $12–$13/SF NNN with concessions, but most vacancy is 100K SF+; 10–40K SF with offices is the hard find.
We own our building near Tesla and won a bigger contract. How do we fund equipment?
A sale-leaseback. Investors in the Southeast want occupied buildings with long leases. You get full value and no personal guarantee, and the equipment loan may become unnecessary.
