February 4, 2026 (AUSTIN, TX) – Lee & Associates – Austin, a full-service Austin commercial real estate brokerage firm, has been featured in the Austin Business Journal following a strong first full year of operations. The firm closed 48 transactions totaling 1.1 million square feet across industrial, office, land, and data center sectors.
The article highlights the firm’s growth and transaction volume despite elevated vacancy rates across the industrial and office sectors in 2025.
First-Year Performance in the Austin Commercial Real Estate Market
Since launching in November 2024, the Lee Austin office has:
- Closed 48 transactions
- Completed 1.1 million square feet and 447 acres in leases and sales
- Built a brokerage team of 10 professionals
- Secured multiple large-scale tenant representation assignments currently in progress
“We entered a market cycle that required discipline and proactive execution,” said Adam Green, SIOR, President of Lee & Associates – Austin. “Our focus has been simple: build relationships, create opportunities, and stay entrepreneurial in how we approach every assignment.”
Austin Commercial Real Estate Market Conditions in 2025
The Austin commercial real estate market has experienced elevated vacancy across both industrial and office sectors in 2025, driven by new construction deliveries and shifting tenant demand. Despite these headwinds, transaction activity remains steady among well-capitalized tenants and owner-users seeking long-term positioning in one of Texas’ fastest-growing metros.
As an Austin commercial real estate brokerage operating within this environment, Lee & Associates – Austin has focused on disciplined underwriting, strategic tenant representation, and landlord advisory services designed to capture opportunities during periods of market recalibration.
Industrial leasing activity continues to normalize following record absorption in prior years, while office users increasingly prioritize location quality, amenities, and lease flexibility. Land and data center activity remain areas of continued investor interest across the Central Texas region.
The firm’s first-year performance reflects a strategic approach to market cycles rather than reliance on peak-cycle conditions.
Industry Recognition and Strategic Expansion
The Austin Business Journal feature underscores the firm’s ability to gain meaningful market share during a period of elevated vacancy and increased competition across the region’s industrial and office sectors.
Backed by the national Lee & Associates platform – the largest broker-owned commercial real estate firm in North America – the Austin office operates with local autonomy while leveraging national resources.
The firm expects continued expansion in 2026, including growth across industrial, office, land, and data center brokerage services.
