Market Highlights
Ellie May is set to be one of the most coveted developments in East Austin. It is ideally located, just a few minutes’ drive from downtown and the airport, and yet worlds apart with its numerous heritage trees and generous outdoor spaces. There will be a wonderful range of ways to live through diverse home types, along with differentiated office and retail space across the five-acre site. Subterranean parking garages tuck vehicles below the ground plane, offering tremendously lush landscapes and community areas unobstructed by parking lots. A pedestrian path connects the two sides of the development, crossing the creek that runs from SW to NE. Most uniquely, the project is host to an urban farm in service of an on-site farm-to-table restaurant that will manage it. This operator will make use of the existing, onsite farmhouse, relocating it near Springdale Rd. and renovating as a new space. The many elements of this site elevate its rentable and sellable spaces and cause the property to endure as one of the most coveted locations in East Austin and Springdale’s high-end real estate.
