Mixed-use project slated for up-and-coming Austin ‘hood

A newly formed developer called the Maker Bros. has announced plans to build a $150 million mixed-use project in South Austin, Texas, christened the Saint Elmo Market District.



A 40,000-sq.-ft. former school bus factory on the site will be converted into and indoor-outdoor marketplace that will serve as the new home of the Saxon Pub, a celebrated live music hall in Austin. Maker Bros. has apportioned 100,000 sq. ft. of the site for office space, a boutique hotel, and condos.



We’re for the makers, the entrepreneurs who want to develop this district into a special and artful place for the city of Austin,” said Maker Bros. partner Brandon Bolin, who conceived of the project for the growing South Austin neighborhood with close proximity to downtown Austin.



Construction is set to begin later this year, aiming for an open date sometime in 2018.
