Whitestone REIT acquired the 31,832-sqaure-foot, restaurant-anchored San Clemente at Davenport retail center in Austin, Texas, which is just minutes from the Apple and Tesla campuses and situated amidst the bustling hub of the area’s several technology companies.
The San Clemente acquisition complements Whitestone’s existing Davenport Village retail center at the same intersection along Loop 360, one of Austin’s most traveled corridors, and marks the fifth neighborhood shopping center in Whitestone’s portfolio that is located in Texas’s capital city.
Whitestone plans to leverage its institutional knowledge of and strong position in the market to strengthen the performance of the asset and unlock its significant upside potential. Whitestone expects to capitalize on the center’s very strong dynamics and its own retailer relationships to position the property for long-term growth and relevance within the upscale neighborhoods it serves: Davenport Ranch, Westlake, Rob Roy and Barton Creek.
The center tenant mix includes Fresa’s, a local Mexican favorite with a welcoming atmosphere and outdoor patio that anchors the property, Iron Fitness, a state-of-the-art training and fitness facility and Greenlake Energy, an emerging energy technology company.
