Executive Summary

Located along IH-35 in San Marcos, between the fast-growing metros of Austin and San Antonio, SMBP — San Marcos Business Park is a master-planned industrial campus with three Class A buildings ready to host your next manufacturing, distribution, R&D, or flex endeavor. With 45 acres, excellent visibility from IH-35, and flexible uses from 20,000 SF up to 665,764 SF across the campus, SMBP is engineered for performance, scale, and long-term value in the heart of the Texas Innovation Corridor.

Hays County is among the fastest-growing counties in the U.S., and San Marcos is not just a logistics relay — it’s an educational, tourism, and industrial nexus, anchored by Texas State University (38,000+ students), and within reach of major employers like Amazon, Tesla, Frito-Lay, and H-E-B. SMBP gives you access to dynamic growth, a skilled workforce pipeline, and first-class infrastructure.

Strategic Angle

San Marcos sits at the logistics fulcrum of southern Texas, bridging Austin and San Antonio. In the past decade, it has become more than a pass-through city — it’s a destination for industrial relocation. Demand is driven by:

• Nearshoring trends as companies shift operations closer to Mexico trade routes
• E-commerce growth pushing demand for middle-mile distribution sites
• Education and innovation via Texas State, fueling engineering, R&D, and tech services
• Institutional and industrial investment — developers like Prologis, Hillwood, and Dalfen have all scoped expansion projects in the I-35 corridor

In this environment, SMBP is not just space — it’s strategic positioning in a corridor that’s becoming Texas’ next wave of industrial gravity. For users seeking to scale between metro markets, or investors targeting stabilized income in a growth corridor, this campus offers both runway and execution.

Bottom Line

SMBP is your chance to anchor in Central Texas’s industrial future — a multi-building, high-visibility, logistically advantaged campus ready to support distribution, manufacturing, or innovation uses. With the Austin–San Antonio growth vector behind it, backed by university-driven innovation and increasing institutional interest, this is industrial real estate with momentum baked in.

Make your move before the next wave passes you by.
