As the city's skyline reshapes with the rise of new structures, LV Collective, a prominent developer in the student and multifamily housing market, has shifted its base from Austin's West Campus to a new office on Congress Avenue, signaling further developments in the area. In a deliberate move underpinning the company's growth, LV Collective's 65 employees have relocated to 801 Congress Ave., a space offering a generous 20,000 square feet spanned across multiple floors, according to Austin Business Journal. CEO David Kanne voiced the transition as a response to the company's expansion, noting, "How do you find a place that has character? That fits the ethos of the company and has everybody under one roof?" and that the new location enables them to "scale and grow."
Meanwhile, Intracorp Homes is casting its die South of the Congress Avenue corridor, heralding a mixed-use development dubbed Leland South Congress. Slated for completion in 2027, the project features 270 housing units and 22,000 square feet of retail space—a noteworthy expansion underscored by Intracorp's commitment to enriching the district's pedestrian experience, as the company's vice president, William Sayers said in a news release, "It was important to us and the future of South Congress to place an emphasis on ground-level place-making, and continue to make South Congress Avenue the most dynamic and engaging pedestrian experience in Texas," as stated by Community Impact.
LV Collective's portfolio boasts several projects both within and outside Austin, among them a 48-story condo high-rise called Paseo on Rainey Street that topped out this past August. Further afield, the developer has recently put the finishing touches on an 800-bed student housing project at the University of Georgia, with additional ventures at other institutions like Georgia Tech and Ohio State University poised to break ground in the coming years, as per Austin Business Journal.
