According to Connect CRE’s October 21 report, SolarWinds signed a headquarters lease for more than half of Zilker Point in Austin.
SolarWinds leased 100,000 SF at Zilker Point in CBD South, a building of about 195,000 SF of Class A space.
The lease is about 51% of the building (derived). The company is relocating its global headquarters and expects to move in during fall 2027.
JLL represented the tenant. AQUILA Commercial represented the landlord, Generational Commercial Properties.
Term, rent and the size of the current office were not disclosed.
Implications: The lease creates material exposure to a single headquarters tenant. Term, rent and rollover remain important to underwriting; the source does not establish future HQ occupancy or growth. Roughly 95,000 SF lies outside this lease, but that does not establish how much is available.
Key Takeaways
- The headquarters lease covers about 51% of the building, derived from the reported areas.
- 100,000 SF divided by about 195,000 SF is about 51% (derived)
- About 95,000 SF remains outside the lease (derived)
- Term and rent were not disclosed
