Executive Summary

Waterstreet Lofts is a mixed-use condominium development located in the heart of East Austin’s highly desirable East Cesar Chavez corridor. Completed in 2007, the project combines residential lofts with a limited number of ground-floor commercial units, creating a built-in customer base and a dynamic live/work environment. The building features modern loft-style construction with high ceilings, large windows, and a contemporary industrial aesthetic. Residents and commercial occupants benefit from controlled access, a gated parking garage, and a well-maintained common area structure managed by the condominium association. Positioned at the signalized intersection of Cesar Chavez and Comal, the property offers strong visibility and immediate access to one of Austin’s most active urban corridors.

The project benefits from long-term growth trends in East Austin, where limited supply of small-format commercial ownership opportunities continues to drive demand from owner-users and local businesses.
