Take pride in Downtown Austin
Already established as a sophisticated college town, fusing cache' as the booming state's capital with notoriety as a cultural dynasty - constant film industry biz + being widely recognized as the 'Live Music Capital of the World' = tourism, imported spenders and relocation, ' a friendlier version of an urban town has erupted at the crossroads of the Texas Plains and bucolic Hill Country.
Also established is the city center's grid and layout. With the State Capital as the focus point (and center of a regime of state buildings) interrupting the flow of main drag Congress Avenue, regions have already taken root. The Bourbon-street feel of the 6th Street District in the southeast sector stakes out a huge core of the city's live music venues, restaurants and bars along a 7-block corridor, playing host to the acclaimed South by Southwest festival, headquartered at the mammoth Hilton Hotel and Convention Center two blocks away.
Northeastern downtown comprises of Brackenridge, Seton and St. David's medical facilities, just north of Red River's music venue corridor, while the Southwestern sector houses the largest redevelopment district with the entertainment-focused Warehouse, 2nd Street and Market Districts; including the Whole Foods flagship store and a retail sector serving not only the hip and contemporary tastes of the new downtown market.
If the city's downtown development history has been cyclical, Austin hopes to retain momentum of the latest boom. Retaining its charm since the last high-rise in 1983, mayoral support plus an ever-expanding job market have quickly changed the face of the city, repositioning its focus on densely built areas, areas that are self-contained and amenity-complete in order to reduce automobile traffic and build closer community ties.
The goal: 10,000 people to live downtown by 2010, 25,000 by 2015.
Luxury condos began to exude in 2001 in the establishment of the Nokonah, once home to Ann Richards and Dan Rather, fusing with the Austin mainstays of Whole Foods, Book People, Waterloo Records and advertising giant GSD&M Idea City.
Topping recent lists* across the nation for business growth, relocation, desirability and affordable construction, Austin has shot up in the luxury market, with mainstays like the Four Seasons Residences (along with the Hilton residences built above the 2001 downtown hotel), currently offering the costliest condos with the allure and amenities of a full-service hotel.
