Villa Muse, $1.5B Neighborhood Shakes Up Southeast Austin

Every now and then, a developer takes a city by storm. They may announce a project so huge, so different and forward-thinking that it shakes up the status quo. Austin has had so many development announcements in the past year alone that we've sort of "been there, done that" when it comes to new central or downtown condos and other upcoming projects.

Villa Muse, a $1.5 Billion Dollar "creative class" neighborhood in far southeast Austin has  garnered the attention of just about every newspaper publication and blog since their announcement Tuesday. Aside from Mueller Austin, there hasn't been as much excitement about a master-planned community. Villa Muse is even getting more attention than the Domain in Northwest Austin.

Villa Muse isn't just cool because of the huge price tag. It's anticipated because Austin is making a serious play for creative talent and big studios productions. Where else in Texas are you going to find a 50,000 square-foot sound stage and recording studio as well as an amphitheater in the middle of a neighborhood?

Now I see why people in the know have been warning me to keep my duplexes in Area 9, zip 78741 in Austin.
