The Austonian- Crazy Luxury Condo Highrise

October 10, 2007

Insane luxury has broken ground in Austin!  If you need marble walls or Italian wood, this is your cup of tea!  This project broke ground this fall and will suit the ultra swanky Austinites.  With condos starting at $550k all the way up to nearly $4 million, you’re sure to see Hollywood stars, politicians, musicians and others that will leave you starstruck signing on the dotted line!

According to the Statesman- The Austonian, the swanky 55-story condo tower planned for Second Street and Congress Avenue, is pulling out the stops on amenities. The bathrooms will have marble walls; the kitchens will have Italian cabinets and built-in cappuccino machines, and 54th floor lounge will have a catering kitchen. A 10th floor “urban garden” will include a lap pool, billiard room and outdoor movie screen. It also will have a dog park with a scented, self-cleaning doggie toilet — just the thing for pampered high-rise pooches. Prices will range from $550,000 to $3.8 million and higher than that for buyers who create a custom unit on the three highest floors. “We knew what the standard was, and we wanted to blow it out of the water,” said Laura Gottesman, whose firm, Gottesman Windham Real Estate, is marketing the units.

Located at 200 Congress Ave, The Austonian will be 55 Stories tall, comprised of 195 Units and 700 feet tall! While it is still in the design phase, the completion date is targeted for 2009- our skyline will soon be changed!

Of course the Austonian will have a concierge, an amazing pool, a fitness center, meeting rooms, party rooms, a dog park for plush puppies, a garden deck, game room, housekeeping and valet.  Oooh la la!  The Austonian has a $200 Million budget and plans on being over half a million square feet!  The developer is Second Congress Ltd. which is affiliated with Benchmark Development out of Austin.

If you’re ready to open up your big heavy wallet but don’t want to live in the suburbs, the Austonian is Austin’s answer to those seeking the luxury living lifestyle downtown.  The sales center is open and is by appointment only- call us at 512.879.3741 to get started!
