A mid-rise office building is coming to one of the hottest parts of Austin, and it's being designed with sustainability in mind.
Stream Realty Partners LP is teaming with global investment manager Barings LLC to develop 1400 East in East Austin, where the amount of office space under development trails only the Central Business District.
The six-story building will rise on one acre at 1400 E. Fourth St., just west of the Plaza Saltillo train station. Square footage for the building has not yet been determined.
Developers are targeting a gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification system, said Connor Greissing, managing director and partner for Stream in Austin. That is the second-highest level attainable in the widely used LEED program, which recognize buildings that save money, improve efficiency, lower carbon emissions and create healthier places for people, according to the USGBC website.
The building’s sustainable design elements are still being finalized, Greissing said, but the design will be "biophilic."
