A nuclear reactor startup in Austin has leased a 205,000-square-foot building at CrossPoint Business District in Georgetown, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The company plans to use the site to manufacture nuclear reactors and power generation parts.
Why it matters
The lease brings advanced nuclear manufacturing to Georgetown and adds to the growing industrial base in the Austin area. It also reflects continued demand for large-format industrial space in the region.
The company's lease was identified through an August 31 state filing that detailed a $25 million renovation for the building. Lease terms were not disclosed, and the company's plans for a second, larger Georgetown site remain under discussion.
The players
CrossPoint Business District
A 224-acre business development in Georgetown, Texas, currently under construction.
The details
The 205,000-square-foot building is Building 2 at CrossPoint Business District, a 224-acre development under construction. The renovation adds laboratory, machine shop and production floor space to the facility.
Timeline
Early 2026: A neighboring identical building was leased to Baer Manufacturing.
August 31, 2026: A state filing detailed the $25 million renovation.
March 2027: A 606,000-square-foot Georgetown building under discussion is expected to become available.
Market Landscape
Austin-area industrial demand has expanded sharply since 2015, when SCADA companies leased about 200,000 square feet, to roughly 3.7 million square feet today. The Georgetown lease adds advanced nuclear manufacturing to that growing industrial base.
For Georgetown residents, the lease signals new manufacturing jobs and industrial activity at CrossPoint. Local workers and businesses may see added demand for industrial services as the facility comes online.
The takeaway
Industrial real estate in fast-growing Texas metros is increasingly being absorbed by advanced manufacturers, and communities like Georgetown are positioning themselves to host that work. Watch for the next filings to see whether the second building moves forward.
