Description
Rare South Austin infill development opportunity in coveted 78745, at the seam of one of the city's most active builder corridors. This 6,566 sqft SF-3 vacant lot sits just off the Ben White (Hwy 290) and Menchaca Road intersection, surrounded by new high-end residential builds on Redd Street and backing directly to commercial property — opening flexible build, live/work, multi-unit, and assemblage potential for builders, developers, and investors. Prime 78745 Location: Quick access to downtown Austin, ABIA airport, South Lamar, South 1st, the Menchaca entertainment district, St. Elmo, and the Yard via Ben White and MoPac. SF-3 Zoning, Commercial-Adjacent: Single-family entitlements with a commercial buffer at the rear — strong fit for HOME code-driven multi-unit infill, duplex, or two-on-a-lot configurations under Austin's updated rules (buyer to verify zoning, HOME eligibility, and feasibility). Fenced & Free of Major Trees: Fully fenced with no large trees in the buildable middle, reducing tree protection complications and accelerating the path from acquisition to permit-ready. Workable footprint supports an efficient build schedule. Surrounded by Active Development: Neighboring Redd Street builds are pushing into the high-end South Austin market with strong recent comps, signaling continued appreciation and clear exit pricing for spec, build-to-rent, and custom homes. South Austin Demand Driver: 78745 remains one of Austin's most absorbed and resilient infill submarkets, with steady velocity across single-family, multi-unit, and luxury new construction. Tech employer and downtown proximity keep end-buyer demand strong. Endless Builder Possibilities: Build a custom home, an SF-3 multi-unit project, a duplex, a build-to-rent investment, or land bank for the next move in a tightening market. Bring your plans, your builder, and your vision.
