Austin commercial real estate, with the broker network to back it up.

Austin commercial real estate is the most paradoxical market in Texas. The headlines are all about office vacancy and the slowdown from 2021-2022 peaks — and those headlines are real. Class B office in suburban submarkets is offering tenant improvement allowances of $50-80/SF, free rent of 9-15 months, and rent abatement levels we haven't seen in 15 years. At the same time, Austin's chip manufacturing corridor (Samsung, Tesla suppliers, NXP, Applied Materials) is absorbing industrial space faster than developers can deliver it, and Class A trophy office in The Domain and Downtown is leasing at premium rates with limited supply.

The Austin market in 2026 rewards specificity. Generalist brokers who treat Austin as a single market miss the bifurcation. Tenants who don't understand the differences between East Austin, South Congress, The Domain, and Downtown end up in the wrong submarket for their business. Owners who don't know which Austin submarkets are oversupplied vs supply-constrained make pricing decisions that leave money on the table.
