Industrial & Warehouse Space for Lease in San Antonio & the Hill Country

Distribution, light manufacturing, flex-industrial, service-industrial, and contractor space — across San Antonio's industrial submarkets and the I-10 and I-35 corridors into the Hill Country. Whether you need a small flex bay for a service business or a larger distribution building, CRECO brings options with the right clear height, dock-door count, power, parking, and yard.

Texas Market Context

Why this market matters

San Antonio sits on the I-35 and I-10 corridors.

The Northeast / I-35 corridor toward Schertz and New Braunfels anchors modern bulk distribution, while infill flex and service-industrial on the North Side and along I-10 toward Boerne serve operators who need to be close to their customers.

Specs matter more than rent.

Two warehouses at the same $/SF rate can be wildly different deals. Clear height, dock-door ratios, trailer parking, power capacity (480V vs 277/480V three-phase), sprinkler systems (ESFR vs standard), and yard area all drive your operating cost. CRECO benchmarks every site on these specs.

Concessions are still on the table.

Even in tight markets, the right tenant — credit, term length, expansion path — can negotiate free rent, tenant improvement allowances for racking and office buildout, and rent escalators that beat market.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does industrial space cost in San Antonio?+
It depends on submarket, building age, clear height, and bay size — modern bulk distribution, older second-generation warehouse, and small-bay flex with office buildout all price differently. Most industrial is quoted triple-net (NNN). Our San Antonio industrial space page has CRECO's current estimates by product type; for comps on a specific building, call (210) 817-3443.
What clear height should I look for?+
For typical distribution, 24-32 ft clear height is standard. 18-24 ft is common in older or Class C industrial. Modern bulk distribution centers built since 2018 are often 32-40 ft clear, accommodating 5-6 levels of pallet racking. The right clear height depends on your storage profile — if you stack 4 levels of pallet racking, 24 ft is the minimum; for narrow-aisle automation, 36+ ft is preferred.
How many dock doors do I need?+
A common rule of thumb is 1 dock door per 5,000-10,000 SF, but it depends on throughput. High-velocity distribution and cross-dock operations may need 1 door per 2,000-3,000 SF. Service or storage operations may only need 1 door per 15,000-20,000 SF. Always confirm whether dock doors are dock-high (typical) or grade-level (drive-in) — they serve different purposes.
Where are the main San Antonio-area industrial submarkets?+
In San Antonio: the Northeast (the I-35 corridor toward Schertz and New Braunfels) for modern bulk distribution, and the Far Northwest (Loop 1604 / I-10) for flex and smaller-bay product closer to the North Side. Up the I-10 corridor, Boerne and the Hill Country communities have a smaller supply of mostly small-bay flex and service-industrial space. The right one depends on where your customers, employees, and trucks need to go.
Can CRECO help with cold storage or specialized industrial?+
Yes. Cold storage, food-grade, hazmat-rated, lab, manufacturing with heavy power requirements, and refrigerated distribution all require specialized site selection — and plenty of buildings claim specs they don't actually meet. We verify the specs that matter before you tour.
Do you only work in San Antonio and the Hill Country?+
That is where we focus and where we own property. If you're a tenant with a requirement elsewhere in Texas, we can help there too.
