Capella Commercial

What Capella Commercial does

Capella Commercial, LLC is a privately held commercial real estate brokerage and development firm headquartered in Austin, Texas, serving owners, tenants, and investors across Austin and central Texas including Marble Falls, Burnet, Kyle, Cedar Park, Leander, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Lakeway, Round Rock, Georgetown, Temple, Spicewood, Buda, and Pflugerville. The firm operates two interrelated business lines: brokerage services — commercial property sales and marketing, leasing, landlord representation, tenant representation, and site selection — and development services spanning site selection through financing, public relations, and exit strategies. Its product surface covers land, office, retail, multi-family, industrial, and Class A climate-controlled self-storage. The firm is led by Managing Partners Randall Beaman and Todd Dailey, supported by Associates Mike Shutt and Kyle Gruber and a small group of additional professionals; the team collectively holds more than 90 years of CRE experience.

The firm generates revenue through transaction-based commissions on brokerage and leasing, development gains, and joint-venture co-investment returns, with no subscription or recurring SaaS revenue. An affiliated entity, Capella Capital Partners, LLC, functions as the investment and development arm and co-develops properties alongside partners including Ryan Companies, Austin Affordable Housing Corporation (AAHC/HACA), and Lincoln Property Company. Notable active and completed projects include Arena Tower (a 450,000 SF Class A office tower at 10615 Burnet Road adjacent to The Domain), Urban Oaks and The Reserve at Springdale (486 units of affordable and workforce housing), Pflugerville Crossing, and multiple climate-controlled self-storage facilities operated under Public Storage, CubeSmart, and Extra Space brands. Pricing for available commercial space is per-deal and per-square-foot, with listed base rents of $20–$24 PSF and NNN charges of $14.75–$15.84 PSF; development economics are negotiated individually.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: direct field engagement by senior brokers with property owners, real estate investors, and tenants, supplemented by a maintained LoopNet listing, a fully built website, and a weekly email newsletter. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm's competitive position is grounded in local Austin market knowledge, multi-decade broker relationships, and selective institutional co-development partnerships rather than software or data assets.
