Why You should attend this austin Industrial Summit
What We'll Cover:
How leasing strategies, rents and concessions are changing as Austin moves from a tenant's market toward balance: what it takes to get a deal done today, where rents go from here, and how landlords are protecting occupancy while the remaining vacancy gets absorbed.
How advanced manufacturing and hardware-driven demand, from Tesla and Amazon robotics to electronics and auto suppliers, is changing what users need from industrial space, including power capacity, heavy floors, secure yards and specialized infrastructure.
How developers are deciding between build-to-suit and spec construction as the pipeline slows, and what current projects reveal about timing, construction and labor costs, and the conditions that will justify the next wave of groundbreakings.
How investors and lenders are approaching repriced assets, including how capital is underwriting non-stabilized product, what lenders expect on preleasing and risk, and where institutional money is returning to Central Texas industrial.
How the gap between submarkets, from Georgetown and the SH-130 corridor to Hays County and east Austin, is shaping site selection, land strategy, cap rates and underwriting as the market recovers.
How You'll Do More Business: Join Bisnow for an in-depth look at the forces reshaping industrial real estate across Greater Austin, from a supply wave that is finally being absorbed to manufacturing demand that is redefining the region's role in U.S. supply chains. This event connects tenant demand, development strategy and capital markets, and explores how advanced manufacturing, shifting lease terms and a shrinking construction pipeline are influencing rents, site selection, capital stacks and long-term value. Bisnow brings together the region's top owners, developers, investors, lenders, brokers and occupiers to uncover which submarkets are recovering first, how projects are getting financed and leased in today's environment, including build-to-suit, sale-leaseback and joint venture structures, and what it takes to position assets for Austin's next growth cycle.
Who You'll Meet:
Owners and developers of industrial, logistics and flex projects across Central Texas
Manufacturers, logistics operators and corporate occupiers expanding or optimizing their footprints
Institutional and private equity investors, lenders and capital providers active in Austin industrial
Leasing, asset management and property management leaders focused on occupancy, tenant retention and NOI
Brokers, tenant reps, site selection consultants, general contractors and design professionals tracking user demand and emerging corridors
