Austin Ushers in a New Era of Inclusive Living with NRP Group’s Mixed-Income Development
In the industrious epicenter of Austin, Texas, a beacon of inclusive living prepares to rise from the bustling grounds of East Austin. The NRP Group, renowned for its comprehensive prowess in multifamily housing development, in alliance with PointOne Holdings and the Travis County Facilities Corporation (TCFC), has officiated the groundbreaking of a new 328-unit mixed-income multifamily development—ushering in an era of accessible luxury and community for a diverse array of residents.
Characterized by its commitment to affordability without compromising on quality, half of the units at Ross Road will be allocated for residents earning 60 to 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). This allocation signifies an empathetic nod to the essence of community living, ensuring that essential workers, young professionals, and growing families—archetypes of a vibrant community—can afford to call East Austin home.
Max Whipple, Vice President of Development at The NRP Group articulates this vision with clarity: “This development is a testament to our commitment to create inclusive housing communities where residents of all income levels can thrive. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary and the delivery of our 30,000th housing unit in Texas, East Austin’s Ross Road development will provide the local workforce with the opportunity to affordably live in the vibrant community where they work.”
Strategic in location, Ross Road extends beyond shelter, offering its future residents proximity to arterial routes like Highway 71 and the 130 tollway, easing the commute to expansive employment hubs—melding convenience with lifestyle.
In partnership with The NRP Group, Ben Colonomos, Principal of PointOne Holdings, echoes the enthusiasm for the project’s potential to redefine neighborhood dynamics, ensuring that “This development will significantly enhance the rapidly expanding neighborhood, providing residents with a best-in-market living experience and a wide range of community-focused and thoughtfully designed amenities.”
The architecture, envisioned by Lord Aeck Sargent, paints a picture of harmonious living, blending outdoor leisure with the utility of a 4-story development including unique covered parking structures. This carefully planned space optimizes both accommodation and multi-faceted recreational zones like courtyards boasting resort-style pools, and communal workspaces for the burgeoning number of remote workers and students—a testament to the adaptability and foresight of multifamily planning.
Patrick Howard, Executive Director of TCFC, reaffirms, “This development aligns perfectly with our mission to support the development of high-quality housing in Travis County. We are proud to be part of an initiative that delivers accessible housing to the region’s growing workforce.”
The initiative taken on Ross Road is more than brick and mortar; it is the embodiment of The NRP Group’s mission—an axiom of its blueprint for progress in the multifamily arena, setting a benchmark for the future communities. With construction in full swing, Ross Road is scheduled for its grand unveiling in 2026, promising a new spectrum of living in the heart of Texas.
