We found out that with preliminary approval from the Austin Zoning and Platting Commission in hand, developers are moving ahead with plans for a 1,020-acre upscale housing development near Texas 45 Southwest and Escarpment Blvd. The development will be built in phases.
At build-out, some ten years down the road, the $200 million project known as Avana could include nearly 800 homes, a 250-room resort hotel with 140 condominiums, 24 single-family villas and an 18-hole golf course.
Homes will be built by builders Toll Brothers Inc., Newmark Homes LP, Rossi Homes Inc. and Mercedes Homes Inc. Prices will range from the $300,000s into the millions.
This area is really growing and there’s lots of development going on down there now. If you haven’t been down there in a awhile go check it out and you’ll be suprised at all the growth. I think the SW area of Austin is going to have solid appreication over the next 5 years.

Building in this area is a bad idea, especially for the environment. Being a sensitive recharge zone for the Edwards Aquifer, the runoff can easily start polluting Barton Springs. Tell the City Council to deny this development!
