**Del Valle is where the Austin growth story and the Austin supply story diverge.**

Zach Roesinger, designated broker of Roesinger LLC, is a South Austin–based commercial real estate broker specializing in flex-industrial, small-bay warehouse, industrial outdoor storage (IOS), land, and sale-leaseback and 1031 exchange transactions in Del Valle and across the Austin metro and Texas Triangle. He represents tenants, owners, sellers, buyers and investors.

| Austin metro industrial vacancy | **~15–16% (near record)** |
| --- | --- |
| South Austin flex asking rent | **~$19/SF NNN** |
| Southeast submarket vacancy | **~25–28%** |
| Metro industrial cap rate | **~7.5%** |

Metro and submarket figures from third-party reports, Q1–Q3 2026. Sources below.

## What's happening in Del Valle

The growth is real: the metro has added about 18,000 jobs added year over year, with unemployment near 3.7%, and there are roughly 1,900 manufacturers in the region.

So is the supply. Southeast submarket vacancy is roughly 25–28% after about 8.5 million SF delivered in the past year, only ~17% preleased, and much of it landed here. An empty spec building in Del Valle competes with institutional landlords who can offer long free-rent periods.

## What it means for owners

Occupied small-bay flex and legal yards hold value. Empty big-box doesn't, for now.

## What it means for tenants

Large-format tenants have real leverage in Del Valle. Push for free rent, TI and flexible terms.

## What it means for investors

Buy occupied small-bay flex, legal yards, and land with a non-industrial path. Underwrite 18–24 months of lease-up, not six.

## Del Valle: common questions

### Should I buy industrial in Del Valle?

Not empty spec. Growth is real, but Southeast vacancy is ~25–28%. Buy occupied small-bay, legal yards and land with options.
