Pearlstone Partners will develop Cascade Condominiums, a 113-unit multifamily project that will be located in the heart of historic Old West Austin.

Condo project planned near Shoal Creek

An Austin-based developer plans to break ground Monday on Cascade Condominiums, a $46 million project slated for a hill overlooking North Lamar Boulevard and Pease Park in West Austin.

Pearlstone Partners said its project will be built at West 25th and Longview streets, on a site that formerly housed an office building. The development will have 113 condominiums, along with two office units of just under 2,000 square feet each.

Emily Lee, founder, principal and broker for Prospect Real Estate, said she expects the project’s location and amenities to appeal to buyers who include “young professionals, downtown or medical district commuters who want to live closer to their workplaces, buyers with ties to the University of Texas, and empty-nesters.”

Cascade Condominiums will be at 2500 Longview Street, just off Shoal Creek, which was called Cascade Creek by early Austin settlers.

The Architect’s Challenge - Designing the Best Wall for the Project

The architect for this was Mark Hart Architecture and the builder was Provenance Constructors, with Jon Standley as project manager at the time.
