Q1 2021 | Austin Industrial | Research & Forecast Commericial Real Estate Report

AUSTIN, Texas - June 1, 2021 - PRLog -- The first quarter kicked off what promises to be one of the most transformative years in recent memory for Austin's industrial real estate market.

Census numbers show that Austin's five-county population grew nearly 3% year over year to nearly 2.3 million people, making Austin the fastest-growing major metropolitan area in the country.
