Set amid the creative pulse of Austin’s East Side, 1010 E 8th Street offers a chance to start fresh with a new build just a few blocks from downtown and the city’s hottest culinary, nightlife and outdoor attractions. Picture designing a new residence that opens to leafy views, then strolling to acclaimed eateries on East 6th—think Suerte, Nixta, Lazarus Brewing—or biking a few minutes south to the Lady Bird Lake Hike-and-Bike Trail for sunrise runs and paddle-boarding sessions. With downtown skyscrapers rising to the west and neighborhood parks close by, the homesite balances urban energy with pockets of green space. Set within the storied Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District—home to 15 preserved landmarks—1010 E 8th Street lets you channel “old Austin” character while enjoying complete design freedom, as the original structure has already been removed. A rare, paved alley runs behind the homesite, meaning your new build can claim full street frontage instead of a front-yard parking pad, and upper stories can capture skyline views less than a mile from the 6th & Congress epicenter—about as close as a single-family address gets to downtown. Walk to acclaimed East 6th eateries, jog the Lady Bird Lake trail, and watch the IH-35 cap-and-stitch project deliver acres of fresh parkland and amenities just blocks away. With urban energy out front, heritage charm all around, and flexible development potential baked in, this lot is a blank canvas primed for a showpiece residence and smart investment. Schematic design concept in place by award-winning A|PARALLEL architecture, including plan options for multiple configurations, from 2300sf – 3200sf, single-family or 2-family home.
