Description

Located in the heart of East Austin, 3228 E 5th Street offers a rare opportunity to own an industrial-style property with exceptional visibility and access. This corner-lot site spans 15,246 square feet and features a 3,700-square-foot metal warehouse, currently operating as an auto repair shop. Zoned GR-MU-NP, the property allows for a wide range of commercial and mixed-use possibilities, making it ideal for investors, owner-users, or creative operators looking for flexibility and long-term potential in one of Austin’s most dynamic areas. The building sits just minutes from Austin’s urban core—approximately 2.5 miles (about 8 minutes) to Downtown Austin, 2.5 miles (about 7 minutes) to Springdale General, and 6 miles (around 12 minutes) to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The location combines the energy of the East Side with convenient access to major roadways, making it highly accessible for business operations or customer traffic. Surrounded by East Austin’s growing mix of industrial, creative, and culinary destinations, the property is steps away from local favorites like Pueblo Viejo and nearby coffee trucks such as Fleet Coffee’s mobile setup at Cosmic Saltillo—adding to the property’s authentic neighborhood charm and walkable vibe. With its generous lot size, versatile zoning, and proximity to downtown, 3228 E 5th Street stands out as a prime East Austin property offering both utility and future development potential.
