Schertz, Cibolo, and Selma commercial real estate — the I-35 northeast industrial growth corridor.
Industrial, flex, retail, and supporting office commercial real estate across Schertz, Cibolo, and Selma — the I-35 northeast corridor connecting San Antonio to New Braunfels. One of the strongest industrial commercial growth submarkets in the broader SA metro, with continued residential and retail expansion alongside. CRECO covers industrial leasing, retail, and investment advisory.
Market Overview
Schertz Corridor commercial real estate, in plain English.
The Schertz / Cibolo / Selma corridor is the working commercial real estate submarket of northeast San Antonio. The I-35 stretch from Selma through Schertz into Cibolo handles the bulk of the SA-to-New-Braunfels industrial growth — bulk distribution, light manufacturing, supplier-ecosystem operations, and small-bay flex. The combination of strategic logistics positioning, growing residential, and lower land cost vs central San Antonio makes the corridor one of the strongest industrial commercial growth stories in Texas right now.
Industrial is the dominant commercial story. Class A bulk distribution (75K-300K SF) along the I-35 stretch leases steadily with 90%+ occupancy. Small-bay industrial (10K-40K SF) is genuinely tight — limited supply, strong tenant demand from local businesses, e-commerce 3PLs, and growing manufacturing operations. Rents in the $8.50-11/SF NNN range with steady push as supply tightens.
Retail follows the residential growth. Primary growth centers along FM 3009, FM 78, and the I-35 commercial frontage run at 4-6% vacancy with steady rent push. Restaurants and grocery-anchored centers lease well. Office is more limited — Class B suburban professional office for local services.

FAQ
Schertz Corridor commercial real estate — common questions
- Do I need a commercial real estate broker in Schertz Corridor, and who pays for one?
- As a tenant or buyer, representation in Schertz Corridor is almost always free to you — the landlord or seller pays the commission, and it's typically split whether or not you bring your own broker. So going unrepresented rarely saves money; it just means the listing broker is negotiating for the other side. CRECO represents your interests across the entire Schertz Corridor market, not one owner's building.
- How long does it take to lease or buy commercial property in Schertz Corridor?
- For a lease, plan on roughly 30–90 days from starting a focused search to signing — a second-generation space (already built out) moves fastest, while heavy build-out adds time. For a purchase, 60–120 days is typical once under contract, to allow for due diligence, financing, and closing. Defining your must-haves up front is the single biggest way to compress that timeline.
- What types of commercial property does CRECO handle in Schertz Corridor?
- Office, industrial and warehouse, retail, medical office, and flex space — for both lease and sale — plus land and investment property, including 1031-exchange replacements. We work all three sides of the market: tenant and buyer representation, owner services (leasing, management, disposition), and investment advisory across Schertz Corridor and the rest of Texas.
- What size deals does CRECO work on in Schertz Corridor?
- The same senior team handles a small suite and a multi-million-dollar investment sale — we don't hand smaller Schertz Corridor deals to junior staff after the pitch. Whether you're a business finding your first location, a growing tenant needing more room, or an owner with a portfolio, you get direct senior-broker attention.
