Cryptocurrency Miner Spends $100M on Property at Former Alcoa Site
Why this matters
Land continues to behave as the highest-conviction long-duration bet in CRE. In supply-constrained luxury markets, replacement-cost-positive entitlements remain scarce; in growth-corridor exurbs, sponsors with patient capital are accumulating positions ahead of the next residential or industrial pipeline. Austin is working through a multi-year supply digestion in both multifamily and office. Land values east of I-35 continue to hold despite slower entitlement activity. The trade is a basis call, not an income call, and continues to attract family-office and high-net-worth capital that can hold through the cycle.
