Hunt Companies Greenlit for Major Austin Development
Hunt Companies has received approval to develop a major mixed-use project at 200 E. Riverside Drive in Austin, Texas. The proposed project will feature three high-rise buildings encompassing 1.3 million square feet of office space, nearly 900 residential units, approximately 32,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial and retail space, and a 513-room hotel. Building heights could reach up to 600 feet.
The development site is currently occupied by a 93,000-square-foot vacant office building that dates back to 1970.
This high-rise development is part of a growing wave of large-scale projects in Austin’s South Central Waterfront area. Other nearby developments include a planned 480-foot tower at 311–315 S. Congress Avenue and Endeavor Real Estate Group’s planned redevelopment of the former Austin American-Statesman site at 305 S. Congress Avenue.
Hunt Companies, based in El Paso, Texas, is a diversified, family-owned holding company with investments in operating businesses, real estate, and infrastructure assets. The company has been active since 1947.
