817 S Austin Ave

Located at 817 S Austin Avenue, the historic Gauthier Building offers a rare opportunity to secure a prominent downtown Georgetown address in one of the fastest-growing cities in Central Texas. Originally built in 1920, this 6,500 sq ft property is being fully rehabilitated and will be delivered as a dramatic white box with electrical and lighting in place. The facade will be restored, original trusses revealed, and soaring ceilings enhanced by two skylights, creating a striking canvas ready for retail, restaurant, or creative concepts. Tenant improvements are negotiable, with delivery projected approximately nine months from October 1, 2025.
Just steps from the Williamson County Courthouse and the heart of the “Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas,” the property benefits from unmatched visibility, heavy pedestrian activity, and excellent signage along one of Georgetown’s main corridors. Downtown Georgetown is alive with acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, wine rooms, art galleries, and the beloved Palace Theater. Music on the Square, festivals, and seasonal events draw steady crowds and create a lively year-round atmosphere.
Georgetown’s population is nearing 80,000 and continues to rank among the fastest-growing cities in the nation. With a median household income of nearly $92,000, a highly educated workforce, and strong consumer spending power, the city offers businesses an exceptional customer base. Residents value local charm, support independent enterprises, and enjoy one of the highest qualities of life in Central Texas. This much space on one level is rare and offers many options.
817 S Austin Avenue combines historic character, modern upgrades, and a premier location. This is a rare chance to establish your presence in a downtown that blends small-town charm with the energy and growth of a thriving regional hub.
