"Developer secures $28.5M loan for East Austin infill housing"

Austin Business Journal reports, "The Geyser Group is set to build infill housing in East Austin after securing a $28.5 million construction loan.

The development, known as The Arden, will rise on about five acres at 4908 Lott Ave., beside city-owned Springdale Neighborhood Park, said Matt McDonnell, partner at Austin-based Geyser Group.

“The idea is to create additional housing stock in a neighborhood (ZIP code 78721) that has exhausted its current supply,” McDonnell said. “When you see the Mueller neighborhood complete, you see some of the StoryBuilt projects that either didn’t get fully realized or have stalled out a little bit, so the idea is trying to fill that missing-middle housing that doesn’t really exist in enough quantities.”

Another big development appears to be on tap for booming Williamson County

Austin Business Journal shares, "Hundreds of acres between Hutto and Taylor are newly primed for development.

For example, a similarly sized development, Trinity Ranch in Elgin, will have more than 1,700 homes.

Plano-based GRBK Edgewood LLC is the project developer for the North Fork MUD, and its listed address in the development agreement matches that of Plano-based Green Brick Partners Inc. (NYSE: GRBK). Green Brick didn't immediately respond to requests for…
