Another apartment tower may rise near UT-Austin

Quote:

Landmark Properties Inc., a student housing developer based in Athens, Georgia, has filed a site plan with the city of Austin for its first major project at the University of Texas‚ a 17-story tower at 715 W. 23rd St.

The Standard at Austin could contain 287 units, a parking garage and amenity floor comprising more than 520,000 square feet on a little more than one acre. The project, as described at the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration, is valued at $191 million, which seems particularly pricey and may reflect a typo — something that has happened previously with TDLR records.

I've requested a rendering and confirmation of construction value from the developer.

The company is one of the largest developers of student housing in the country, though its introduction in Austin may seem a bit late. The University of Texas is considered by many to be the birthplace of large, upscale, off-campus student housing projects dating back to the early 1990s.

The Standard will amplify the frenzied pace of development in the West Campus neighborhood west of Guadalupe Street between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and West 29th Street.

Registration at TDLR was filed in late September and a site plan application was filed with the city of Austin on Nov. 22.

Construction isn’t likely to begin until December 2018, with completion anticipated for the fall semester 2023. Humphreys & Partners Architects LP in Dallas is the designer.
