1900 & 1920 S IH-35
Industrial
Marketing description
Located at 1900 and 1920 S IH-35 in San Marcos, Texas, this offering comprises two contiguous parcels totaling approximately 14.22 acres of undeveloped commercial land with Heavy Industrial (HI) zoning in place. The site carries approximately 375 linear feet of frontage along the S IH-35 Frontage Road, one of the highest traffic commercial corridors in Texas, with direct visibility to a daily vehicle count that serves both Austin and San Antonio metro traffic. The property is currently unimproved, with a large accessory shed and unpaved drive on-site.
San Marcos occupies the midpoint of the Austin-San Antonio IH-35 corridor, roughly 33 miles from downtown Austin and approximately 35 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The city is among the fastest-growing in the United States, with a January 2025 population estimate of approximately 90,988 and a city-projected trajectory toward 142,000 by 2035. Texas State University, enrolling over 44,000 students with a 10-year master plan targeting 50,000 by 2033, anchors the local economy and contributes more than $2 billion in annual economic output. The South IH-35 corridor is actively attracting industrial, logistics, and commercial investment: AXIS Logistics Park, a master-planned 2,000 acre industrial campus with 735 acres already zoned for industrial use, is developing in the same market. San Marcos Business Park, offering up to 426,600 SF of industrial space, is operational nearby, and additional industrial zoning activity along the south IH-35 frontage road signals continued institutional interest in the submarket.
The property is zoned Heavy Industrial by the City of San Marcos, a designation that accommodates a broad range of manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and high-impact commercial uses. This existing entitlement meaningfully reduces the cost and timeline typically associated with industrial site development, making the tract immediately actionable for qualified industrial buyers. The site is within the City of San Marcos Certificate of Convenience and Necessity for both water and wastewater service. An 8-inch water line runs along S IH-35, an 8 inch gravity sewer line parallels the IH-35 frontage, and a 12-inch gravity sewer line runs along the northeast boundary facing the railroad. Electric service is available through San Marcos Electric Utility, and Atmos Energy serves the area for natural gas. Pre development coordination with all utility providers will be required.
The property contains approximately 8.6 acres within the FEMA 100-year regulated floodplain, which extends into the site from both the front and rear of the tract. Development programs will need to account for stormwater management requirements in accordance with City of San Marcos criteria. On-site soils include Type D Branyon Clay, Tinn Clay, and Houston Black Clay. Topography ranges from a high point of approximately 602 feet MSL at the south end, falling to the north at slopes of 1 to 3 percent. The site drains northward into an unnamed tributary of Willow Springs Creek.
