DBOX – Branding & Marketing for \/Four Seasons via Dancie Perugini Ware Public Relations<\/p>\n
A piece of Austin land<\/a> once held by one of the world’s largest oil companies<\/a> is getting a very different second act: multimillion-dollar homes, private marinas and Four Seasons service overlooking Lake Austin.<\/a><\/p>\n Construction is underway on Four Seasons Private Residences Lake Austin<\/a>, a luxury residential-only resort planned for a former Exxon-owned hilltop west of the Pennybacker Bridge. The project team confirmed the development sits roughly 380 feet above Lake Austin and spans 210 acres with nearly a mile of shoreline.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n And living there won’t come cheap.<\/p>\n The development is planned for 229 residences, with prices ranging from $4.1 million to $35 million, according to a project fact sheet provided to Chron.<\/p>\n The land itself has a history that stretches back decades.<\/p>\n Exxon acquired the secluded hilltop roughly 40 years ago and held the property for about 25 years. Jonathan Coon, the entrepreneur who founded 1-800-CONTACTS, later acquired the property and began working with partners on plans to transform it into luxury housing.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n DBOX\u2019s work has been recognized by organizations including the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (Emmy\u00ae Awards), Communication Arts, The Art Directors Club, World Luxury Award, American Design Awards, and The International Property Awards, and has been exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, The Art Institute of Chicago, and The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.

The project took another major step forward earlier this summer after TYKO Capital provided an $870 million construction loan.<\/p>\n “This financing moves Four Seasons Private Residences Lake Austin from vision to construction,” Coon said in a public statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n The project has changed considerably since Houstonians first got a look at it.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n The Houston Chronicle reported in 2023<\/a> that plans at the time called for 189 residences across 18 buildings on 145 acres, with homes starting at $4.1 million. Developers also envisioned a private marina and an elaborate $300 million amenity complex complete with restaurants, a theater, a spa, basketball and racquet courts and an indoor citrus garden.<\/p>\n DBOX\u2019s work has been recognized by organizations including the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (Emmy\u00ae Awards), Communication Arts, The Art Directors Club, World Luxury Award, American Design Awards, and The International Property Awards, and has been exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, The Art Institute of Chicago, and The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.

Realty News Report similarly reported<\/a> that a winding road will instead provide access to the waterfront.<\/p>\n The luxury, however, hasn’t exactly been scaled back.<\/p>\n DBOX\u2019s work has been recognized by organizations including the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (Emmy\u00ae Awards), Communication Arts, The Art Directors Club, World Luxury Award, American Design Awards, and The International Property Awards, and has been exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, The Art Institute of Chicago, and The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.

Plans call for two private marinas with 50 slips.<\/p>\n Despite all that Four Seasons branding, this isn’t another hotel headed for Austin.
