Manufacturing Buildings for Sale and Lease in Austin

Brian Smith is an industrial real estate specialist and as such works with manufacturers on a regular basis helping them find the space to best support their business’ needs. As you are beginning your search for industrial space in Austin, consider some of the important items below:

Important considerations specific to manufacturing sites:

Power
-Research and know the amount and type (3 phase) of power required for your machinery
-Research and find out the amount of power available at any location you are considering
-Consider whether any power modifications may be required. Consult with an electrician to get a bid for the work and factor that into any potential relocation costs you may incur

Loading
-What type of loading do you need? Dock high, grade level, or both?

Location
-Consider what area of town or submarket you prefer. Are there any specific drivers for location selection? Do you need to be close to a supplier, I-35, or the airport?

Air conditioning and cooling
-Consider whether your manufacturing process requires you to cool the entire warehouse space or whether you can work with an unconditioned warehouse.

Zoning
-One of the challenges with locating a manufacturing facility is being sure the zoning where the building is located will allow for the intended use type of the business. Brian is familiar with the local zoning and can help you confirm whether your business falls within a permitted use or not.
