Saltillo Lofts

Saltillo Lofts represents the first transit-oriented development in Austin, serving as a catalyst for the revitalization of the east side of the city. In addition to being a part of Austin’s S.M.A.R.T. Housing program (Safe, Mixed-income, Accessible, Reasonably-priced, Transit-oriented), Saltillo Lofts also adheres to Austin’s Green Builder Program, an initiative reinforced by Envision Central Texas, a non-profit organization for sensible growth in this region. The design for Saltillo Lofts is a model for sustainable, economical, and desirable multifamily urban housing. On a brownfield site, former home to an old, abandoned gas station, Saltillo Lofts has contributed to an environmental cleanup of this area of downtown Austin, representing a valuable use of land. Located adjacent to Plaza Saltillo at Comal and 5th Street, it features a mix of commercial space, affordable housing, and two-story lofts. An interior court offers residents a quiet oasis from the street. Parking is concealed within interior lots.
