Block 36 Coming to Downtown Austin

Transwestern Development Co. bought 1.6 acres in downtown Austin on which to develop Block 36, a 263-unit micro-apartment complex. The development will also include a 3,000-square-foot restaurant on the ground floor.

The project will break ground in January 2019 between East Third and East Fourth Streets on Waller Creek, with delivery slated for the first half of 2020. Block 36 will consist mostly of studios, with 14% of the complex dedicated to two-bedroom units. The apartments will average 443 square feet.

On-site amenities will include a resort pool, bike storage, fitness center, clubroom and business lounge and an elevated courtyard. “As one of the most expensive zip codes in Texas, downtown Austin has few options for those who want to live alone for less than $1,500 a month,” said Transwestern Development’s Ty Puckett. “Block 36 will fill that supply gap.”

Puckett and colleague Josh Delk are leading the development.
