Just as people started gearing up for times reminiscent of a pre-pandemic world folks were stunned by the economic swing that has some holding on for dear life, literally, while others are watching for the uptick to take a leap into opportunities and increase their fortunes. We at Beck-Reit thought it would be helpful to compile some noteworthy East Austin news for our community of small businesses, owners, and investors. So, here’s what’s been happening in our neck of the woods!

Times are surely changing and there’s no place like Austin for retail. Driving across America, you may likely find some vacant retail strips or ghost towns with empty stores but definitely not in Austin! Austin is just the opposite of a typical US city, with a surprisingly lower retail vacancy since 2020. The capital of Texas now has the lowest retail vacancy rate for any city in the State of Texas and is also one of the lowest in the country.  Competition is fierce in major Retail Areas such as the Domain and other trendy shopping streets like South Congress, 2nd street Downtown, Burnet Rd, and East Austin. Properties command high rent and spaces have multiple businesses looking at each sight and competing with each other to be selected by the Landlord.

Step into Sign Bar, the latest addition to East Austin's nightlife scene, and embark on a nostalgic journey through the city's rich history.

According to research by BiggerPockets, women represent less than 2% of commercial real estate investors. This figure is surprising given that more women own and manage their own businesses today than ever before. Commercial real estate is an asset class that offers tremendous potential for growth, especially when you consider the current market conditions. However, most women are not investing in commercial real estate for one main reason: lack of knowledge about how it works and how they can get started investing. But this isn't true for Women In Commercial Real Estate. For Women in our profession, investing is squarely in our Circle of Competence.

There is potential to create $1 trillion dollars of value for women in commercial real estate by 2025 if we start investing like men. It's a $3.5 trillion dollar industry, and it's the largest one in the world.
