Lovett Industrial, in partnership with Clarion Partners, is planning a major new development in East Austin, Texas. The proposed industrial park — named Fusion 130 — will total 1.5 million square feet across nine buildings on a 180-acre site at the intersection of State Highway 130 and FM 969, about two miles south of Tesla’s 10-million-square-foot Gigafactory.

Building sizes at Fusion 130 will range from less than 100,000 square feet to 500,000 square feet with layouts designed to accommodate a mix of logistics, distribution and manufacturing users. The site also offers direct connectivity to SH 130 (a key north-south corridor for regional freight traffic) and is located within proximity of the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

The project is currently in the planning and permitting phase. While no formal state filings have been made yet, groundbreaking is now targeted for late 2025. The project will mark Lovett’s first foray into the central Texas industrial market.

In parallel, the Houston-based developer is also preparing to break ground on the Schertz Logistics Center, a four-building, 608,000-square-foot industrial park planned on 43 acres northeast of San Antonio. That project, valued at $30 million, is scheduled to begin construction in October 2025 and be delivered by the end of 2026.

Founded in 2020, Lovett Industrial has developed, acquired, or currently has under construction more than 13 million square feet of industrial product across major Texas markets, including Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth. Fusion 130 extends that footprint into Austin, while other recent expansion moves include a new Nashville-area development slated for 2025.

Notably, the company has also built a reputation for adaptive reuse and complex site redevelopment. Significant projects include POST Houston — a historic post office turned mixed-use hub — and Lake Pointe Green in Sugar Land, a 53-acre redevelopment of the former Fluor Corporation campus.
