WHAT'S INSIDE

🔢 THE DATA

👋 Hi, I’m Kirtana!

I’m an ex-dentist turned Realtor - let’s work together! Email me, tweet me or send me a carrier pigeon. 🐦️ 

We know the real estate market is tough - sellers are getting creative and turning to Twitch?

San Antonio Spurs Tony Parker’s Hill Country estate is on the market for $16.5 million.

The twist? Celebrity streamer Kai Cenat will move in for a month and stream the estate to his millions of followers. The listing agent is calling this a “really big open house.”

Quick sneak peak - you can find the full listing here.

  • 53 acres

  • 13,300 sqft (main home)

  • 6,000 sqft gym

  • Largest residential water park in the United States

🤠 WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND TOWN

Will Nvidia revive Austin’s commercial real estate market?

Nvidia is gearing up to expand in Austin with a major lease at One Uptown near The Domain, according to the Austin Business Journal.

If it goes through, it would be a big score for North Austin’s growing tech corridor.

Nvidia’s next big move:

  • New lease: About 100,000 square feet at One Uptown, 11515 Burnet Road

  • Space for an estimated 650 employees

  • 👀 psst valued at $3.86 trillion, the world’s most valuable company

The company was initially rumored to be looking for 300,000 square feet, so this is smaller but still a serious footprint.

The deal isn’t confirmed. Nvidia, Brandywine and CBRE are staying quiet, but sources say it’s imminent.
