Hey, Austin! 🤠 Let’s talk big moves and even bigger buildings shaking up the ATX skyline – and no, we’re not just talking about another skyscraper filled with swanky apartments. This time, it’s all about the industrial side of the coin. Link Logistics is stepping onto the scene with a whopping 1.1 million-square-foot industrial project that’s about to put Austin on the map in a whole new way. Buckle up, folks, because this is a game-changer!
The Big Deal at Juniper Crossing
Nestled on a sprawling 127 acres, Link Logistics is set to transform Austin’s industrial landscape with their latest project, Juniper Crossing, located at the strategic 11902 Farm-to-Market Road 969. But that’s not all – this industrial giant has its sights set on various locations across Austin and the surrounding areas, including Sloan Corners in Collin County, Northeast Crossing, Round Rock 45, Settler’s Grove, Colorado Bend near the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and a stone’s throw north of McKinney Falls State Park at Brookfield Properties’ industrial park.
Why should you care? Well, for starters, this massive development is a clear indicator of the booming industrial real estate sector in our beloved city, bringing with it a wave of opportunities for real estate professionals and insights into the expansion trends sweeping through the region.
The Nitty-Gritty Details
- Location, Location, Location: The project spans across several key areas in and around Austin, including prime spots like Northeast Crossing at 12521 Harris Branch Parkway and Round Rock 45 at 2111 S A.W. Grimes Boulevard.
- Timeline: The wheels started turning with a site plan application filed on March 5, 2022, and the project was officially announced on May 28, 2024, with the latest updates rolling out on June 4, 2024.
- Behind the Scenes: Link Logistics, an affiliate of the powerhouse Blackstone Inc., is at the helm, boasting over 1,200 employees and a portfolio that’s nothing short of impressive – over 3,500 properties and 533 million square feet of space across the U.S.
Why Austin, You Ask?
Apart from our love for breakfast tacos and live music, Austin’s industrial sector is thriving, thanks largely to Tesla’s gigafactory. This project is part of a larger wave of industrial developments cropping up in East and Southeast Austin, areas ripe for development due to their rapid growth and proximity to key industrial infrastructures. It’s clear that Austin’s not just a tech hub; it’s quickly becoming an industrial powerhouse too.
What’s Next?
Link Logistics isn’t just about building spaces; they’re about building momentum. With recent accolades like being named a finalist in the Top 100 Inspiring Workplaces in North America competition and the release of their first Pulse Report, it’s clear they’re on a mission to redefine the industrial real estate game, not just in Austin but across the country.
