BartonPlace

1600 Barton Spring Rd. #6409 Austin TX 78704

There is a one of a kind community being built in Austin and I get to be a part of it!!



Part of my reason for writing this post is to say THANK YOU to Ashley LaRocca and Constructive Ventures for the opportunity they have given myself and Turnquist partners.

BartonPlace Residence located at 1600 Barton Springs Rd is projected to be completed February 2010.

From day one the residence of this 6 story mid-rise will benefit from the premier location of the property as well as the efforts and awareness of Constructive Ventures.

BartonPlace was the 1st project endorsed by Save Town Lake, a community organization dedicated to responsible development.

They gave back to the Austin community by donating $500,000 to the City of Austin's Affordable Housing. BartonPlace worked closely with the support of the Zilker neighborhood to come up with a plan that preserved the native pecan trees that EXCEEDED the city's regulations. The developers absorbed the cost of preserving these trees. (Over $200k cost).

Austin's City Planning Commission and City Council voted unanimously for the project with the support of organizations like the Zilker Neighborhood Association & Save Town Lake.

BartonPlace is also participating in Austin's Green Building program.

As for the location, BartonPlace is in the center of all that is Austin. One of the many conveniences of living at BartonPlace is the direct access you have to Lady Bird Lake, Zilker Park and over 10 miles of hike and bike trails. You can literally step out the front door of the property and begin enjoying one of the cities unique features and hot spots. If you are out to improve your fitness and endurance or just a casual stroll, Lady Bird Lake is a beautiful serene backdrop to enjoy.

Now that you are feeling rejuvenated and ready for a good meal find yourself again right outside your front door for some of Austin’s most popular restaurants and night life. On Barton Springs alone is: Chuys and Baby A’s (Tex Mex), Shady Grove (Tex Mex-Features Austin Unplugged by KGSR), Uncle Billy's (Brew & Q, music, bar-b-queue), and Green Mesquite (Barb-b-queue, live music), Austin Java and Flipnotics (Coffee bar/breakfast food), Romeo's (Italian), Daily Juice, and Tom's Market for all of your Grocery and Daily necessities.

This is truly the heart of the city and for all of those who choose to make Bartonplace their residence, you will get to experience Austin the way it was meant to be.
