Austin Real Estate Scene

Developer Keith Smith plans to break ground early next year on the 120-unit Sky Bridge Condominiums, so named because the design calls for several units to be suspended over a green space and clubhouse.

The development will go up about five miles south of downtown at 604 N. Bluff Dr. near the intersection of South Congress Ave. and William Cannon Dr. Condos will feature 24 different floor plans ranging in size from 660 square feet to 1,600 square feet, surrounding a central courtyard.

Prices will range from the high $140,000s to the $300,000s. Amenities will include a pool, fitness center, running trail and amphitheater for concerts.

Austin-based architecture firm Bercy-Chen Studio LLP designed the complex to connect with the site’s natural topography.  To see the Interior Walk Through go to Skybridge Condominiums interior walk-through Skybridge Condominiums interior walk-through

My thinking here is that South Austin is getting a number of new condo developments as it has become the next best place to build near downtown. Land is scarce for developers so they are moving further south where prices are lower so that means the price points for the condos will be more affordable to more buyers. Also the people designing this project are making it to match the topography of the area.
