Northeast

San Antonio Northeast is the dominant industrial submarket in the city, anchored by the I-35 corridor running from I-410 north to Schertz, Selma, and New Braunfels. It is the primary Texas distribution and logistics submarket between Austin and South Texas, supporting a deep concentration of warehouse, distribution, light manufacturing, and flex-industrial inventory.

The submarket benefits from outstanding logistics geography: direct I-35 access, proximity to I-410, FM 1604, and Loop 1604, and connectivity to both Austin (1 hour north) and the Mexican border via I-35 South. Major distributors, e-commerce fulfillment operations, and last-mile logistics have invested heavily in Northeast over the past decade.

Modern Class A bulk distribution buildings (32+ ft clear, ESFR sprinkler, abundant trailer parking) command premium rents but face supply pipeline pressure as developers race to add inventory. Class B and C industrial in older sections of Northeast trades at meaningful discounts but with operational tradeoffs (lower clear height, fewer dock doors, older construction).

Retail and office activity in Northeast is concentrated near the I-35 / Loop 410 interchange (Northwoods, North Star Mall, Forum at Olympia Parkway) and in the Schertz / Selma residential growth zone. Office is meaningful but secondary to industrial in this submarket.
