A rare opportunity to acquire approximately 2.44 acres of cleared land in Central Austin. Comprised of two contiguous parcels, the property offers a scale that is increasingly difficult to find in Austin's urban core. With existing structures removed, the site provides a clean foundation for future planning and development. Prior engineering and site planning work has been completed, offering valuable insight for purchasers evaluating the property's potential. Additional due diligence materials are available upon request. Ideally positioned with convenient access to Downtown Austin, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, major employment centers, retail destinations, and key transportation corridors. The combination of location, acreage, and existing development-related work creates a compelling opportunity in one of Austin's most supply-constrained markets. Buyer to independently verify zoning, development standards, utility availability, subdivision requirements, environmental conditions, and intended use. Survey and additional property information available.
East Riverside-Oltorf, located between Lady Bird Lake and Ben White Boulevard, is a lakeside and corridor-style Austin neighborhood with a trail-lined shoreline and a music-forward nightlife strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around South Lamar Boulevard near Barton Springs Road, where patios, late-night bites, and marquee venues keep the sidewalks active. Long Center for the Performing Arts and Auditorium Shores set a cultural, open-air rhythm along the water. Cidercade Austin adds arcade energy in a warehouse setting. Housing ranges from mid-century apartments to newer mid-rises, with pockets of older bungalows near the river. The Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail stitches daily routines to downtown views and kayak launches.
