Rare opportunity to acquire a premier development lot in the heart of East Austin, one of the city’s fastest-growing and highest-demand submarkets. Located on Chicon Street just minutes from Downtown, this site sits amid a surge of new luxury homes, boutique multifamily, and mixed-use projects. The property offers strong redevelopment potential with zoning that supports higher-density residential, making it ideal for townhomes, condos, or a small multifamily project. The lot’s flat topography, utilities at the street, and central urban location create an efficient, low-risk build environment with minimal site work required.
Central East Austin, located between I-35 and Airport Boulevard, is a historic and creative Austin neighborhood with a grid of walkable streets and a mix of bungalows and modern infill. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around East 6th Street and Chicon Street, where patios, coffee counters, and small galleries keep the sidewalks active. Community pillars include the George Washington Carver Museum, the historic Victory Grill, and the contemporary Canopy arts complex. Pocket parks and schoolyards break up the blocks, while murals and porch lights set an after-dark rhythm. Food trucks and corner bars sit beside long-standing homes, giving the area a layered, lived-in feel.
