A massive block of office space at Bouldin Creek on South Lamar is officially up for grabs, serving up one of the largest contiguous sublease opportunities South Austin has seen in months. The roughly 52,000-square-foot listing puts a modern, amenity-heavy workspace within walking distance of neighborhood restaurants and a quick ride from downtown.
The offering comes in at about 52,177 square feet inside Bouldin Creek, the five-story office property at 2043 South Lamar Boulevard. As reported by the Austin Business Journal, the space hit the sublease market on May 8, while JLL confirms the availability and lists Luke Gholston and other brokers on the deal. Marketing materials note that the large block can be split and that the team is pushing flexible term options to help reel in tenants.
What Bouldin Creek Brings To The Table
Bouldin Creek is a roughly 165,000-square-foot Class A office building at South Lamar and West Oltorf, with about two acres of landscaped open space, a rooftop deck, and on-site retail. The project was designed by Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, according to the building’s website, with an eye toward creative users and tenants who care as much about amenities as they do about square footage.
Who Is Pushing The Sublease And Why It Matters
The sublease is listed on JLL's property portal, which names a local leasing team and directs prospective tenants to contact Luke Gholston for tours and pricing. Commercial property services show roughly 52,700 square feet of availability at the building and flag that at least one large sublease option is now in play.
For South Lamar, this is not just another vacancy. Developers and previous buyers positioned Bouldin Creek as a neighborhood anchor, with Unico leading development and DivcoWest later acquiring the asset. How fast this space moves, and at what terms, is expected to hinge on the usual suspects: rent, lease length, and how effectively brokers pitch the space to tech, creative, and professional firms.
Where It Fits In Austin’s Office Shuffle
Blocks this large still stand out in a market that is trying to work through a lot of leftover space. Cushman & Wakefield's Q1 2026 MarketBeat shows Austin's sublet vacancy hovering around 3.3 million square feet. Industry coverage has noted that smaller suites are getting picked off more quickly than the big chunks, which puts added pressure on landlords and leasing teams to sweeten the pot with concessions or flexible deal structures.
In that context, Bouldin Creek’s big South Lamar sublease looks like a high-profile test of just how much demand is really out there for sizable, creative-leaning office space in one of Austin's most-watched corridors.
