Unique Commercial Real Estate Listings in Austin
From repurposed homes to iconic storefronts, these Austin commercial properties offer history, character and opportunity
While commercial real estate may not spark the same late-night scrolling obsession as dream homes, Austin’s market is packed with intriguing listings worth a second look. Whether it’s a charming old bungalow ready for its next chapter or a sleek modern space in a prime location, these properties are turning business plans into reality.
Walter Tips Building
712 Congress Ave.
26,313 square feet | Office building | 3 stories | Price upon request
The Walter Tips Building is the kind of property that seems destined to change hands only among Austin’s most influential figures. Located across from the Paramount Theatre, the three-story office building mirrors the venue’s grandeur, with gothic details adorning its stone facade. A recent renovation opened up the interior, including a top-floor space highlighted by a vaulted ceiling and the building’s signature arched windows. With potential for office, retail or even an entertainment venue, the property offers flexibility that could make it a landmark headquarters or a downtown destination in its own right.
Infinity Views
809 E 8th St.
24,116 square feet | Office building | 2 stories | Price upon request
A striking addition to Austin’s skyline, the Infinity Views building hovers over I-35 with a bold cantilevered design. Two west-facing floors offer unobstructed skyline views, a sight unlikely to change as the highway below is set to be lowered in the coming years. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap three sides of each level, creating an open, airy feel while maintaining indoor comfort. With an estimated 7 million drivers passing by daily—many with time to take in the scenery—the building presents a rare opportunity for high-profile visibility among Austin commuters.
The Wooten Building
109 E 10th St.
4,916 square feet | Mixed use | 3 stories | $3,500,000
There’s old Austin, and then there’s historically old Austin. The Wooten Building, constructed in 1876 by Thomas D. Wooten, often called the “father of the University of Texas,” stands as a testament to the city’s past. Originally built as Wooten’s office, the three-story property continues its legacy of blending work and living space. The third floor functions as an apartment office, while the first two levels provide ample room for workspaces, including a conference area. With its rich history and adaptable design, the Wooten Building offers a unique setting to launch a business—one where the daily commute is just a staircase away.
2300 Coronado St.
1,402 square feet | Workspace/retail | One floor | Price available upon request
A stunner of a “shack,” 2300 Coronado was built in 1902, but a 2017 renovation brought the interior firmly into the present. Teal-framed windows and shiplap ceilings add character to the space, which can function as a cozy workspace or a stylish retail shop. A naturally landscaped yard enhances its curb appeal, but its prime location at the intersection of Webberville Road and Coronado Street makes it a true focal point. Adding to its appeal, the property is just steps from local favorites like Desnudo Coffee, Murray’s Tavern, and Veracruz.
E 7th Flyrite
2129 E 7th St.
2,220 square feet | Retail/restaurant | One floor | $2,950,000
For those familiar with this space, it’s hard not to see the giant red arrow-like structure and immediately think of Flyrite, the local fried chicken chain. But if Patika could transform a former jewelry store into a beloved coffee shop, any space can be reimagined. With a full-service kitchen, dining area and drive-thru, this property offers a prime opportunity for an aspiring restaurateur. The red arrow could become a symbol of success, making the spot instantly recognizable to future Austinites. Or, for those with a different vision, the space allows for a fresh, eye-catching design all its own.
