$67 Million, 1 Million-Square-Foot Warehouse Planned in East Austin
The one-story tilt-up building is registered as Project Juniper, with a November 23 start date in its filed schedule and no tenant identified.
A $67 million, 1 million-square-foot warehouse for an unnamed user has been registered for a site on FM 969 in far East Austin, according to a state filing. The project is registered as Project Juniper.
The filing, registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on Nov. 10, describes "construction of a 1,000,000 sf 1 story tilt up concrete warehouse for a confidential client" at 11902 FM 969 in Travis County. It lists 1,015,000 square feet of new construction and an estimated cost of $67 million, or about $66 per square foot. The filed schedule calls for construction to begin Nov. 23 and finish Dec. 15, 2027.
Filed scope and next steps
The owner is listed as B9 FM969 Owner, with an address on Noel Road in Dallas. The project is privately funded, and the filing states that the tenant is not funding the work. No design firm or tenant is assigned. The same filer also registered a 525,000-square-foot speculative warehouse in Hutto the same day.
The address matches a site east of Austin that Blackstone's Link Logistics planned in 2024 as Juniper Crossing, a park of more than 1 million square feet in four buildings on about 127 acres near Tesla's Giga Texas. Whether B9 FM969 Owner is connected to that plan has not been confirmed, and the new filing describes a single building rather than four.
No general contractor has been named, and no city site plan approval for the building has been confirmed.
