What's happening in Stassney Lane
South Austin flex rents are about $19/SF NNN and holding. In a tight pocket, a subtenant or replacement tenant near your rent is usually findable.
If your rent is below market, your landlord may want the space back to re-lease it higher, which makes a lease buyout cheaper.
What it means for owners
Below-market leases are an opportunity. A tenant who wants out may hand you a mark-to-market.
What it means for tenants
Need out of a lease? You have three options: sublease, assignment, or a buyout. Which is cheapest depends on whether your rent is above or below market.
What it means for investors
Small-bay buildings here re-lease quickly. Underwrite shorter downtime than metro averages suggest.
Stassney Lane: common questions
I signed a five-year lease on Stassney and my business changed. How do I get out?
Sublease, assignment or buyout. If your rent is below the ~$19 market, a buyout may be cheap because the landlord can re-lease higher. If it's above, a sublease at a small discount usually works.
