Market Opportunity
Wimberley is located in Hays County, one of the fastest-growing submarkets in the Austin metro area. As of 2024, Hays County delivered over 289,000 SF of new retail—with vacancy at a record low of 1.2% and absorption outpacing the five-year average. While San Marcos and Kyle absorb most of the new product, Wimberley remains notably underdeveloped—creating rare opportunity for first-movers in the market.
Wimberley’s commercial demand is not solely tourism-driven. The town has experienced consistent full-time residential growth as more buyers migrate from Austin and San Antonio in search of a slower pace, outdoor lifestyle, and high-quality public schools. This shift has created real retail and service gaps in the local economy.
Identified Retail Gaps in Wimberley
The current supply of commercial amenities in Wimberley does not meet the expectations of its evolving resident base. These lots offer developers and owner-operators the opportunity to deliver targeted solutions in a low-competition environment.
Underserved categories include:
- Farm-to-table dining / Upscale café (with potential for bakery, wine bar, or artisan food offerings)
- Specialty grocery / wine market (organic, gourmet, or locally sourced products)
- Wellness and boutique fitness (yoga, Pilates, holistic health services)
- Auto repair and car wash (essential services lacking in the immediate area)
- Outdoor and adventure gear (capitalizing on proximity to parks, rivers, and trails)
- Pet services and boutique retail (grooming, premium pet food, etc.)
Development-Ready Advantage
What sets these tracts apart is their true readiness for vertical development:
- Detention completed and horizontal infrastructure in place, reducing time and costs to build
- Water meters already installed (3/4”) with larger capacity available
- Electric service at street
- Flat, usable topography simplifies site planning and construction
- Part of a planned, cohesive retail node with anchor activity nearby (C-store coming soon)
