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 Montopolis and East Riverside An old warehouse here has two buyers: an industrial user who values the building at roughly $140–$207/SF, and a developer who values the land per foot of site. With industrial vacancy at a near-record ~15–16%, the industrial user is paying less than before, so the gap between building value and land value has widened in favor of land. ## What it means for owners That doesn't mean sell tomorrow. A ground lease, a sale with a leaseback while the developer entitles, or a paid option to wait can each beat a straight sale. ## What it means for tenants Industrial leases here are increasingly short-term as owners wait on redevelopment. Negotiate notice periods and relocation terms. ## What it means for investors Buy income with a land kicker. Model both the industrial hold and the land exit. ## Montopolis and East Riverside: common questions ### I own an old warehouse in Montopolis and everyone says apartments. Hold or sell? Compare building value to land value side by side. The gap has widened toward land, but a ground lease, sale-leaseback during entitlement, or paid option can beat selling today.
