A 26-acre slice of Cedar Park just off Fire Lane could soon swap open ground for loading bays and service yards, as developer Headwater pushes a new flex industrial project called Axis 183. The site sits just east of the 183A toll corridor and would bring small-bay warehouses, outdoor storage, and yard space to Austin’s northern suburbs, adding one more industrial play to a corridor already in transition.
If the city signs off, Axis 183 would join a growing wave of speculative and small-bay projects that are steadily rewriting how land along 183A gets used, shifting portions of once-sleepy bedroom communities toward more employment-heavy, industrial-style development.
Headwater formally presented the Axis 183 concept to Cedar Park staff and officials on Feb. 16, 2026, according to the Austin Business Journal. A commercial listing for the tract at 1199 Fire Lane pegs the property at about 25.91 acres with General Business zoning and notes that roughly six acres fall within a drainage easement and floodplain, limiting how much of the land can actually be built on, per Showcase. The listing also points out that Fire Lane is a two-lane asphalt road without curb, gutter, or sidewalks, details that are likely to factor into any off-site improvements the city might require.

The Georgetown-based developer and contractor markets this kind of product as a highly adaptable space that can be carved up for a mix of users instead of a single huge tenant…
