Renter's Insurance

Here at Market Place Austin we have liability insurance for our own equipment and operations. We strongly suggest that each merchant obtain renters and liability insurance for their area from their own sources. Marketplace insurance will not cover merchants for theft, damage, accidents, or any other losses incurred at the individual's places of business

Equipment and Furniture

Market Place Austin does not store or sell furniture or display cases for merchant spaces. Each merchant is encouraged to obtain their own, or ask other businesses in the Marketplace for supplies, fixtures, shelving, and other furniture.

Custom Spaces

Some spaces in the front and rear and along the wall of the building are available for rent by the square foot. The cost is between $4.00 and $5.00 per sq. ft. depending on location. Tenants are required to construct their own space, including walls, electricity, ceiling, floor, and furnishing. In addition, a one-time construction fee will be charged at lease signing. Remember that all spaces must be permitted and inspected by the City of Austin prior to opening to the public.

Waiting Lists

Businesses are constantly changing. For this reason, spaces may become available at certain times. If you desire, you may be placed on a waiting list for spaces as they become available. Fill out the form below, or at the Information Booth and we will notify you about spaces that become open. We give first priority to existing tenants then new businesses with different products.
