Financially Troubled StoryBuilt Looks To Unload $2B Portfolio In Receivership Sale
All of their projects under construction, including Ellie May near Airport and Bruno on South 1st, have stalled out.

An Austin, Texas-based infill housing developer is putting its 28-property project portfolio on the market in a receivership sale as it faces a series of financial challenges.
StoryBuilt has 28 projects in various stages of development throughout Austin, Dallas, Denver and Seattle, according to a news release.
Founded in 2009, StoryBuilt targeted “cool neighborhoods,” then built dense, contemporary projects to add more vibrancy, according to the release from A&G Real Estate Partners. A&G Real Estate Partners and Onyx Asset Advisors are handling the receivership sale.
The properties range from seven to more than 800 units. Seventeen of the projects are in Austin, including residential and mixed-use developments, according to the news release. Austin properties include Thornton Flats, an apartment complex in the South Lamar area, and George, a condo complex in Central Austin that plans to start closing sales in the fourth quarter, according to its website.
Trouble has been brewing for StoryBuilt since at least July, when the company sent a letter to investors noting a “lack of liquidity” and requesting $10M in rescue funds, the Austin Business Journal reported. Later that month, another letter notified investors that it was furloughing much of its staff and reorganizing its leadership.
