Austin Makes Nationwide Training Center Rollout for Computer America

AUSTIN-Computer America Training Centers has found space in the state capital for its newest facility. The Austin launch is just one of 10 to 15 ticketed nationwide by the Chicago-based firm that supplies real estate and equipment for corporate trainees.

AUSTIN-Computer America Training Centers Inc. is gearing up for a middle of the month launch at La Costa Centre in northeast Austin, one of 10 to 15 openings ticketed in the Chicago-based firm’s 2001 strategy.

The new training center has latched onto space that had been vacated by Fayetteville, AR-based Staffmark, which had leased the site for six years and pulled out of the Austin market after a three- or four-month stint, Steve McMillon, senior vice president of Kucera Cos., told GlobeSt.com. McMillon had been hired by Staffmark to find a new sublease tenant, but instead had been able to negotiate a direct lease for five years and 10 months with La Costa’s owner. “It was a good catch,” says McMillon, explaining both operations have similar building needs. Computer America provides classroom space and equipment for corporate training.

The Austin facility, which is fetching $23 per sf, is situated just off Interstate 35 and close to the airport. The 8,910-sf office is located in the 83,031-sf La Costa Centre, a 19-year-old office structure that is one of the few class-A properties in its submarket, says McMillon. The property is owned by CMD Realty Investment Fund LP.
