Despite being landlocked, Windcrest methodically plans for its future. If some residents in the City of Windcrest have their way, the future for business there will be as bright as its Christmas light displays. For starters, there is the question of who will move into a huge space near the Interstate 35/Loop 410 access road and Walzem Road. The tech company moved out in 2022 after changing its business model to one where employees largely worked from home.
“A facility of 650,000 square feet on the ground floor, very versatile and it’s been incentivized,” Windcrest Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) executive director Mario Hernandez said, noting the benefits of the building. “We think it can be a success because of the versatility of the property.”Hernandez said his agency and members of city government have been working diligently to fill the void created by Rackspace’s departure. Recently, there have been some positive steps toward filling the space again. “We were fortunate enough to get another owner of the property rather quickly,” WEDC president Jennifer Newman said. Newman said a company called Industrial Commercial Properties bought it and is in the process of transforming the space. As signs out front show, the plan is for it to become the new Windcrest International Business Center.“We would love to tell you that we know exactly what businesses are going to be enticed to come to that space,” Newman said. Hernandez said he and others have spoken to several different entities, including “distribution headquarters and operation” as well as manufacturing. When Rackspace left the area, it also took away a big customer base for some business owners in the area, including Tausha Willis. She initially opened her Mamma Lou’s Soul Food Kitchen on Walzem Road as a drive-thru restaurant back in 2020
