Sabine on 5th Completed On Schedule
By Kathryn | August 10, 2008
One of the downtown accommodations projects that a lot of people have been excited to watch develop is The Sabine on 5th condominiums. They were slated for 2008 completion and have indeed been completed and are now ready for move-in. This shows that downtown Austin development is on track and gives people in the area something to not only be excited about but also to be proud of.
The Sabine is an interesting project in part because it was a conversion project. In the location where it now stands (on Waller Creek) was an office space that was mostly empty and unused. That space was converted into a great condominium offering eighty different condos across ten floors. The fact that this conversion was successful speaks to the value of the many repurposed construction efforts going on in the downtown area.
The Sabine is considered one of the most cutting-edge condo communities to crop up in downtown Austin in recent months. If you are the kind of person who likes the style of European furnishings (like IKEA) and the accommodations available in boutique hotels then you’re going to be the kind of person who feels comfortable in the trendy, edgy, modernly-designed condos that make up The Sabine.
You’re also going to like these condos if you’re a fan of the spa and fitness amenities at hotels that you visit when vacationing. That’s because The Sabine is located right next door to Hilton Garden Inn, a hotel that happily shares its spa, fitness and resort-like amenities with the new residents of the modern condo building.
In addition to the fresh and funky design of the new condo building, the location makes The Sabine on 5th a great condo choice for those people who are interested in being immersed in the emerging life of the city. It’s situated in the entertainment district so there is absolutely always something to do here. And with views of downtown Austin, the homes here are going to make sure that you always know what it is that’s going on.
