AUSTIN, TX—The student housing project is expected to bring quality, high-density housing into the area, with its surroundings at the forefront.

AUSTIN, TX—A recent vote by the Austin City Council green-lighted the move of the historic Dabney-Horne home, which allows construction to move forward on the SKYLOFT, a class-A student housing development. One block from the University of Texas at Austin campus at 507 West 23rd St., the project will stand 22 stories–four below-grade parking levels and 18 residential floors. It will house 212 units with a mix of one to four bedrooms totaling 677 beds.

Austin-based Johnson Trube & Associates is the developer. The firm plans to break ground in August 2016 with an opening scheduled for late July/early August 2018. Project team members include architectural firms Mark Hart Architecture, STG Design and JE Dunn Construction.
