- Tesla leased a 682,000-square-foot speculative industrial building in the Austin Hills Commerce Center, expanding Elon Musk's already sprawling Central Texas real estate footprint
- Tesla is set to occupy the second phase of the development at 11801 Decker Lake Road, with the article cutting off before stating a construction completion date
Why it matters: Tesla is committing to a second-phase space in a speculative Austin-area industrial park — a property type built without a pre-leased tenant — adding another half-million-plus square feet to Musk's documented Central Texas holdings and signaling continued capital deployment on physical infrastructure in the region.
