OHT Partners has broken ground on The Martin, a new “core asset” aimed at serving the housing needs of working young professionals in central east Austin, Texas.
Located on a 3.12-acre site at the northwest corner of 7th Street and Pleasant Valley, the community is centered in the heart of one of Austin’s most dynamic growth corridors. The site, located at 2730 E. 7th Street, is approximately 1.5 miles from downtown Austin and adjacent to the 15-acre Zaragoza Park.
The Martin’s 375 apartment units will feature one to two bedrooms, ranging in size from 550 to 1,440 square feet – and include an array of upgraded amenities inside and throughout the seven-story development. It aims to serve young professionals working on the east side or in the CBD (Central Business District) who value the ability to live, work, and play within East Austin’s vibrant environment and unique culture.
Unit interiors will feature high-quality finishes, including front-control gas ranges, waterfall kitchen islands, built-in desks and private balconies and yards.
The project includes an expansive elevated courtyard, with two resort-style pools, a jumbotron, and views of the downtown Austin skyline. The seventh floor features a fitness center and a wellness center with saunas and cold plunges. Additional amenities include multiple resident club spaces, a golf simulator, karaoke and multimedia room, podcast rooms, dog park and grooming station, co-working spaces and a dedicated rideshare lounge.
The development is privately capitalized through family, friends and closest investors.
The multifamily developer anticipates construction wrapping up in the fall of 2028. Of the 375 units, 37 will be Affordable for households with incomes that are 50% of MFI (median family income) or less.
