Preview Party A Huge Success!

Posted by | contentMgr

Mother Nature must approve of our eco-friendly design at 904 West, because she let up from torrential rains Monday to let us hold our amazing Preview Party Tuesday night under a pure blue Texas sky!

Well over 100 people attended the party at 904 West last night, eager to see the progress of our little development downtown. Our guests were treated to some delicious food, great drinks, live music and a personal tour of the site. How many other developers throw a party on-site while their development is still under construction? After this event, they all should. The feedback and interest we are receiving on the project has been tremendous!

We would like to thank our sponsors who helped make the night spectacular: Lighthouse Solar, Harway Supply, SWBC Mortgage, Colonial National Mortgage, Emerald City Press, Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant, Z Tequila, Dripping Springs Vodka, Paula’s Spirits, The Boutique Real Estate and PetersGroup Public Relations.

If you weren’t able to attend, please check out our photos from the event here!

Preview Party

Posted by | contentMgr

It’s hard to believe it is already October! 904 West is coming along on schedule and we’re planning to have our first units available within just a few months. An upgrade of the entire roof structure is nearly complete and the solar panel grid is already under construction. If you’ve driven by in the last month, you can visually see the changes taking place.

In an effort to provide a rare “inside” look at the project during construction, we are hosting an exclusive Preview Party on October 27 for select downtown neighbors and guests. As we’ve mentioned before, we are taking some advanced steps in eco-friendly development, including a groundbreaking solar program designed to provide each unit its own solar power system. We are teaming with Lighthouse Solar on the project and representatives will be on hand at the party to demonstrate the new features of this cool new system. We will also have representatives from Bosch appliances. Before I forget, we will be offering some tasty beverages from Emerald City Press, along with yummy eats from Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant.

We are speaking with some additional vendors as well, so keep checking in!

If you are interested in attending, you can RSVP at info@theboutiquerealestate.com. It’s going to be a great event and we’d love you to see it first hand!

Roof Upgrade

Posted by | contentMgr

This week we begin replacing the roof at 904 West with an upgraded commercial TPO roof system. For the new roof, we have chosen a white reflective, 60 mil roofing membrane with tapered foam board from Firestone. This will give 904 West greater insulation and solar reflectivity, and an extended manufacturer’s warranty.

Once the roof is completed, we will begin installation of our solar panel system, the first of its kind in downtown Austin, offering individual unit owners direct benefit and ownership of their own solar system.

We will also be posting updated construction photos to the site soon, so make sure to keep visiting our Photos section for a current look at the project.

Web and Construction Update

Posted by | contentMgr

As August ends, we are looking forward to launching our 904 West web site this week, and it looks great. Not only does it have all of our sales information for 904 West, but a really neat guide of what’s in the neighborhood.

Construction is going as planned and on schedule. The roof will be ripped off during the first few weeks of September and will be replaced with a commercial TPO flat roof. The plumbing and electrical work has also started to begin. By the way, the material for our exterior siding has changed. Instead of fiber rock, we will be using magnesium board. Magnesium board has some great benefits that include solid protection for sound, water, and most importantly – fire. It’s also an environmentally friendly building material that is in line with our vision for an eco-conscious community.

We can’t wait to share the full web site with you next week!

The First Renderings!

Posted by | contentMgr

We have finally received the first renderings for 904 West, and I love ‘em! Our development has a refined, urban design that will fit in nicely with its West Avenue neighbors. All three of the new renderings can be seen on our home page, including the Atrium (featuring our new solar panel roof design) and the Bungalows, but here’s a preview:

Our Groundbreaking Solar Program

Posted by | contentMgr

When we started this project, we were not only looking for more efficient ways to provide utilities and amenities, but we wanted to be unique. With our first of its kind solar power program, we have created a truly groundbreaking initiative in the Austin development market.

904 West will be the first multi-residence property in downtown Austin to offer individual photovoltaic solar power systems. What does this mean? Each owner will have access to their own solar power. Wow! Most other buildings use solar power to cut a little off the top from the power needs of the whole complex. However, our residents will be able to control the energy use of their unit by monitoring their own solar power. Imagine the savings!

What’s even more exciting is the way in which owners can monitor these systems – via the internet. Owners will be able to log on remotely from any location that has internet access and view the operation of their solar unit. The Solar program is another way that our residents will live in harmony with both the environment.

To learn more about this energy-saving technology from the provider we are using, visit www.lighthousesolar.com.

Construction Begins

Posted by | contentMgr

Hello Austin! Construction has finally begun on our new project – 904 West – which we hope to have ready for residents by late fall. We’re excited to get started on what will be a groundbreaking development in downtown Austin, offering an ideal location along with a wide range of green amenities. We like to think of this project as a downtown alternative to high-rise living.

One of the best features of 904 West is the location. Near the intersection of 9th and West Avenue in downtown Austin, our future residents will be just blocks away from the West 6th Street entertainment district, with bars like J Black’s, The Ranch, Mother Egan’s and Molotov. Of course if you like burgers, you can’t beat a short 2 minute walk to Hut’s (plus, you’ll appreciate the walk home after a HUGE burger)! The flagship Whole Foods is just three blocks away with all the organic amenities you could possibly want. Plus, North Lamar has tons of shopping and dining options, all within walking distance. You can’t beat it.

The 904 West community will feature accommodations for both residents and small office space. Whether you’re looking to become a downtown resident, a space to establish your practice, or an entrepreneur needing space to create, 904 West can integrate your lifestyle at an affordable cost.

Stay connected to our new blog for the latest on all our new developments and sales opportunities. We hope you’ll take the time to come visit 904 West later this year!
