“Austin developer David Kline is transforming a South Congress apartment complex into affordable condos.” In the development world you can build new or convert existing space. Conversions can be far less expensive than building new and developers can therefore offer the condos at a lower price.
Post Office – future location
Local developer Taylor Andrews recently updated the Downtown Austin Alliance on the status of the Post Office relo. He announced that the Post Office, currently located at 6th & Guadalupe, will relocate to 9th & Red River – a property the Post Office currently owns. This will make room for the proposed Block 52 development by Novare/Andrews Urban.

The Austonian Throws Itself A Little Party
The Austonian threw itself a ground breaking party this morning in the parking lot on the corner of 2nd and Congress, where the shiny building designed by Houston-based Zeigler Cooper Architects will one day stand. The festivities, complete with mimosas and mini-quiches, celebrated the future ‘landmark’, and featured a whole lot of loving between the City and Benchmark Development.
