Brazos Place Condo Auction

Jude Galligan | April 20, 2009 |

19 Brazos Place condos in downtown Austin are being offered via an auction hosted by Kennedy Wilson. The auction is scheduled for May 17th. While the opening bids are enticing, a hidden reserve price has been set for each unit.

I’ll definitely be watching this closely. Most auctions, including this one, have the right to cancel or reschedule if there isn’t a good response. Judging by the amount of coverage the Brazos Place auction is getting I expect there to be lots of interest.

If you are considering a residence in downtown Austin, then it’s worth giving this auction your attention. After checking out the auction website, you can contact me to learn more about the building, discuss the dynamics of the auction, and to preview the units.

Walton's Fancy & Staple

Jude Galligan | April 17, 2009 |

Downtown Austin Blog has been tracking Walton’s Fancy for some time. It’s good to see they are beginning to get the word out. Sandra Bullock is officially behind Walton’s. From the ABJ…

Bullock is bringing a neighborhood market called Walton’s Fancy & Staple to 609 W. Sixth St. Walton’s is her second downtown business. She opened her upscale comfort food-style restaurant, Bess Bistro on Pecan, a little more than two years ago

Golf Carts v Pedi-cabs

Jude Galligan | April 17, 2009 |

KVUE.com is reporting that pedi-cab operators are none-to-thrilled about the fancy golf carts now competing with them for downtown Austin transportation. Capital Cruises now has two golf carts moving people around town. Next time you decide to walk, remember that you are competing with pedi-cabs.

Thanks to DANA’s Roger Cauvin for the tip!
