As the Central Texan real estate scene continues to evolve, the student housing sector is not left behind. The beloved West 24th and Rio Grande streets, erstwhile location of Cain & Abel’s, is now a bustling construction site for the latest Villas Student Housing project. This new development is the eighth of its kind in the popular West Campus area of Austin.
With an impressive 30-story elevation spanning across 340,000 square feet, this ultra-modern building demonstrates an ingenious blend of functionality and aesthetics. The structure, designed by renowned architects, Rhode Partners, comprises two basement parking levels, three above-ground parking levels, and a staggering 25 levels devoted to apartments.
Counting not just on its height, but also its grandeur, the complex has several recreational amenities. Features like a fitness center merging indoor and outdoor environments, a perfectly crafted pool, a calming spa, and even a basketball court make it desirable to the contemporary student.
Though this project has just broken ground, anticipation fills the air about the grand completion slated for summer 2025. This development is a game-changer for student housing in Austin, setting innovative standards and reimagining student living. Stay tuned to our blog for more real estate development news.
