Box 1905 / Austin, Texas 78767-1905 / 512-498-9495 / Fax 512-327-1976 / e-mail [email protected] Volume 30, Number 50 March 27, 2009 Dear Client: Those high-rise condos in downtown Austin? Overbuilt? Are they selling? What are the prospects? In a time of terribly tight credit? During a downturn? Hmmm. Good questions. And you’ll find answers to those questions come down on opposite sides, depending upon who is doing the opining. So let’s check out the answers from those who have skin in the game – the developers and those trying to peddle the product. They may have the best handle on what is going on – or they may be whistling past the graveyard. They opened up to Katherine Gregor, who recorded what they said in a recent issue of The Austin Chronicle. The players: Taylor Andrews, the 360 Condominiums … Larry Warshaw and Perry Lorenz, Spring … Terry Mitchell, The Austonian … Beau Armstrong and Laurie Swan, W Austin Hotel & Residences … and Brett Denton and Art Carpenter, Four Seasons Residences. She also got the view of Kevin Burns, a broker who sells downtown properties. So, is downtown Austin overbuilt with condos? All told her “no.” Their reasoning: “After the four high-rise condo projects now under construction sell out, no other projects are in the pipeline,” she reported. “Due to the meltdown of the economy, which has frozen the capital markets and project financing, developers believe we’re unlikely to see any new projects get financed for one to two years.” (One exception: a possible sister project by the developer of the 360).

Residents proudly "Keep Austin Weird" in the 78704 zip code while neighborhoods like Travis Heights, Barton Hills and Bouldin Creek reflect highly diverse personalities: you'll discover historic homes next to modern architecture featured in magazines.
