Branded condo development<\/a> is taking off in Texas, and Universal Music Group is tossing its hat in the ring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The \u201cbig three\u201d record label is partnering with Austin<\/a> developer White Rocks Entertainment to build UMusic Hotel & Private Residences Austin at a Hill Country site near Bee Cave, the Austin Business Journal reported<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project, at 10549 SH 71, will feature 600 condo units, 150 hotel rooms and a 10,000-seat outdoor venue. Proposed amenities include professional recording studios, a nightclub, comedy club, indoor performance venue and two restaurants. It would be the first stateside hospitality project from Universal, which has a flagship hotel in Madrid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Christie\u2019s International Real Estate broker associate Dara Allen is leading sales for the condos. Pricing is expected to start at $2.3 million, she told the outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Construction could start in early 2027 and is projected to wrap up in 2030 \u2014 if the project gets approved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

White Rocks president Chris Milam<\/a> pitched a similar project at the site in 2021. Violet Crown would have brought two luxury apartment towers, a 96-bay driving range and 20,000-seat amphitheater. Milam pulled the plug on the project after it sparked opposition from Bee Cave City Council and residents over water usage and other environmental concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new project \u201cis designed to meet a 100 percent water reuse standard,\u201d a White Rocks spokesperson told the outlet. In addition, more than 70 percent of the 71-acre project will be open space. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will review the project\u2019s wastewater permit at a hearing on July 15.\u00a0<\/p>\n

News of the partnership comes shortly after the Four Seasons Lake Austin project got a major boost in the form of an $870 million construction loan<\/a>. The condo project, which is being developed by Austin Capital Partners and Lincoln Property Company, will rise on a 210-acre site that features nearly one mile of Lake Austin shoreline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
