Austin Commercial Sites helps longevity clinics, med spas, IV therapy and functional medicine practices, and other medical tenants lease or buy space in Bee Cave, TX (often searched as Bee Caves) and nearby Lakeway. Tristen Palori, a licensed commercial real estate agent with Foresite Commercial Real Estate, leads each search, and tenants typically pay nothing because the landlord pays the fee.
Why wellness clinics want Bee Cave
Bee Cave sits where SH-71 meets RM 620, the commercial center for Bee Cave, Lakeway, Spicewood, and the Lake Travis area. The households here are among the most affluent in the Austin metro and spend on preventive health, aesthetics, and performance. That makes the area a natural fit for cash-pay and membership models: longevity and healthy-aging clinics, hormone and functional medicine, IV and recovery studios, med spas, and concierge primary care.
The catch is supply. Hill Country terrain and Bee Cave’s impervious cover limits keep new construction scarce, so good suites stay full and often change hands without a listing.
Where to look
The Hill Country Galleria and SH-71
The Galleria at SH-71 and RM 620 is the area’s main shopping, dining, and office destination, and the centers around it get the most traffic. Retail suites here give a med spa or recovery studio visibility, but many need a full medical buildout. Check the center’s use restrictions and exclusives early.
RM 620 toward Lakeway
North on RM 620, Lakeway has medical office space around Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, Lakeway. A clinic that wants a medical setting, or referrals from nearby physicians, often starts here.
Smaller office and medical buildings
Small professional buildings along SH-71 and RM 620 suit practices that need quiet treatment rooms more than storefront visibility. A former dental office or clinic can save months of construction.
What a longevity clinic needs from the space
Most of the cost and risk is in the buildout, so match the space to your services before you sign:
- Consults, labs, and IV therapy: exam and treatment rooms, a sink in most rooms, a lab draw area, and medical waste handling.
- Hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT): hard-shell chambers are heavy and need a floor that can carry them, plus fire code review of the oxygen system. Confirm with the landlord and the fire marshal first.
- Cryotherapy: nitrogen units need ventilation and oxygen monitoring; electric units need heavy power.
- Saunas, cold plunges, and contrast therapy: dedicated electrical circuits, water, floor drains, waterproofing, and HVAC that can handle the humidity.
- DEXA or other imaging: X-ray equipment must be registered with the Texas Department of State Health Services, and the room may need a shielding evaluation.
- Parking and access: many clients visit weekly, and a 60-minute treatment ties up a space. Confirm the real parking count at your busiest hours.
Our guide on how to open a longevity clinic in Austin covers the full process, and second-generation medical space explains how a former clinic can cut cost and time.
Lease terms that matter for wellness clinics
- A broad use clause. Write it to cover the services you offer now and the ones you may add, such as “medical, wellness, aesthetic, and related services.”
- An exclusive. In a retail center, ask the landlord not to lease to a competing med spa, IV, or longevity clinic.
- Buildout money and time. Negotiate a tenant improvement allowance and enough free rent to cover construction.
- A permit contingency. Make the lease depend on getting your permits, especially for HBOT, cryotherapy, or imaging.
- Assignment rights. If you might sell the practice, make sure the lease can transfer with it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there space for a longevity clinic in Bee Cave?
Yes, but supply is limited. Most options are suites in retail centers along SH-71 and RM 620, small medical and office buildings, and occasional former clinics. Many lease without a public listing, so it helps to have someone tracking the area for you.
Can a longevity clinic or med spa go in a Bee Cave retail center?
Often, but check two things first: that the property's zoning allows the medical use, and that the center's existing leases do not give another tenant an exclusive on similar services. We confirm both before you tour.
What does a longevity clinic need from its space?
It depends on the services. Consults and IV therapy need exam rooms and sinks. Hyperbaric oxygen, cryotherapy, saunas, and cold plunges can add electrical, ventilation, drainage, and floor load requirements, and DEXA or other imaging may need state registration and shielding.
Should I look in Bee Cave or Lakeway?
Both serve the same Lake Travis area clients. Bee Cave centers on the Hill Country Galleria at SH-71 and RM 620, while Lakeway has medical office space around Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, Lakeway. We search both and compare them side by side.
Who pays for a tenant rep agent in Bee Cave?
In most leases the landlord pays the brokerage fee, so working with us typically costs a clinic nothing.
