710 Colorado St

A historic mid-rise converted commercial landmark dating to 1940, this masonry-and-concrete Brown Building occupies a prominent downtown Austin corner. The structure rises several stories with elevator access and retains many period details—an art-deco marble lobby, original terrazzo on main levels, and exposed concrete ceilings and conduit in many residences—while unit interiors show a range of thoughtful modern upgrades. Homes are primarily one-bedroom loft-style layouts with high ceilings, large operable windows, built-in bookcases, and features such as kitchen islands, quartz or granite counters, and recessed or designer lighting. Some units include dual primary closets, walk-in showers, murphy beds, and flexible open plans that can be reconfigured. Common areas emphasize resident amenities: a rooftop deck added in 2025, a fitness room, controlled-entry security with fob/callbox, and a restored lobby gathering space. One- or reserved garage parking spaces are available; a dog-yard and pet-friendly policy support urban pet ownership. The building participates in historic designation programs that substantially reduce property taxes for qualifying owners. Located in the heart of downtown Austin, it sits within walking distance of theaters, restaurants, the Capitol, and the Lady Bird Lake trail, blending loft character with downtown convenience and a community-oriented amenity set.
