Watson Lane Industrial Park

Doherty Houston Industrial Group is pleased to present Watson Lane Industrial Park located at 1820 Watson Lane, New Braunfels, Texas in the rapidly growing Interstate 35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio, Texas. The two-tenant property consists of two buildings totaling 28,075 square feet and five acres of yard space on a 10-acre parcel. Approximately three acres of land remain undeveloped and present an opportunity for future NOI growth for the new owner. The property is less than one mile from Interstate 35, 45 minutes from Austin and 35 minutes from San Antonio.

The property is located adjacent to the newly announced, 1,600-acre Mayfair Master Planned Community being developed by Southstar Communities. Mayfair is projected to contain 6,000 housing units, 300 acres of public parks, a 160-acre business park, over 120 acres of mixed-use development, over 70 acres of commercial property and four schools in the Comal Independent School District. A development of this size and duration will drive hyper-local industrial demand from the associated tradesmen and suppliers developing the project and provide strong rent growth for other industrial owners.

The Comal County industrial market is comprised of 17.4M SF of inventory with a vacancy rate of 2.0 percent. Rents grew by 8.2 percent over the last 12 months averaging $8.30 PSF NNN (without yard space), easily exceeding the 4.1 percent average annual change in the prior decade. Positive absorption totaled 946,000 SF over the trailing 12 months.

The current rent roll consists of two tenants, Enertech and WyoTex Directional, LLC. Both tenants make use of the office warehouse space and large, fenced yards for outside storage.
