Downtown Living Flourishes

Sep 15 2009 by Emily Matthews

I’ve been reading a few great articles recently about downtown living in Austin. As much resistance as there has been to change, the inevitable is happening and the downtown skyline is changing.73% of the 1,562 condos that have already been built or are currently under construction are occupied. The most anticipated  projects nearing completion are the Austonian and W Hotel and Condominiums. With no new construction slated to start for another 4-5 years, demand may soon outweigh supply.  Downtown businesses are thriving as well, especially in the 2nd street district and W 6th street areas.There’s a downtown living tour scheduled for Sunday, October 11th from 12:00 – 5:00 that would be great for anyone considering a move into the city. I’m definitely going to check it out and will report back with all of the fun details!
