Urban East
Located at 6400 East Riverside Drive, between Montopolis Dr. and Vargas Rd., the 7.3-acre Urban East project, designed by Davies Collaborative, will include 381 units in the first phase, with an expected delivery date of Q1 of 2023. The second phase, estimated to begin in Q1 of 2022, will bring an additional 138 units for a total of 518 units. Approximately 80 percent of the apartments will be one-bedroom units, with an average size ranging from 750 to 800 square feet, as well as efficiency studios at approximately 550 square feet and the largest units spanning over 1,200 square feet. The site also will feature three structured parking garages.
“Urban East will represent one of the largest multi-family opportunity zone projects to break ground in Austin,” said Peter Kehle, co-founder and CEO of River City Capital Partners. “There is a much greater emphasis on affordable housing with this development than similar projects in the area, and we are proud to make this offering available to meet the strong demand for this dynamic hub of Central Austin.”

“With the ongoing growth along East Riverside, including the relocation of Oracle’s corporate headquarters nearby and the new Tesla Gigafactory, there is a great demand for the type of quality, affordable and sustainable housing that will be offered at Urban East,” said Michael Gerber, president and CEO of the Housing Authority of the City of Austin. “Of particular importance is the fact that the affordable and the market rate units will have the exact same high-end finish out, which is fairly unusual in this market.”
