Summary: What we know Tokyo Electron is selling its 107-acre U.S. headquarters campus in Southeast Austin, although it plans to stay and grow in Austin. The campus includes a main office building with about 142,000 square feet of space, a research and development building with just over 47,800 square feet, and 60.3 acres of raw land. The property, which is being marketed by CBRE Capital Markets, is touted as a "once in a lifetime" mixed-use redevelopment opportunity due to its close proximity to downtown Austin, the airport, and major roads. The company plans to lease the campus for a year after the sale, making it an attractive opportunity for an owner-user or a future investor.

Why this matters: This sale opens an opportunity for real estate professionals to engage in a significant mixed-use redevelopment project in Austin, potentially delivering high-value investment opportunities to their clients.

Summary: NHPF, a national affordable housing provider, has secured $74.5 million in construction financing for a new project in Austin called Seabrook Square. This venture, backed by Austin Housing Finance Corporation and Capital A Housing, will provide 204 affordable housing units, including ten live-work residence studios for Austin artists. All units will cater to families earning 60% MFI or less.

Why this matters: Understanding the demographics that Seabrook Square targets, such as artists and low-income families, can help commercial real estate professionals better tailor their services and offerings to meet the needs of these specific audiences in Austin.
