Saint Elmo Public Market
In a little over two years, an office furniture warehouse in South Austin will become the city’s first large-scale mixed-use market.
GroundFloor Development and Prescott Group joined forces to create the $120 million project, dubbed Saint Elmo Public Market. Plans call for an indoor-outdoor market, entertainment venue, offices, condominiums, and a boutique hotel.
The project will be situated on a 12-acre site near St. Elmo Road and South Congress Avenue. The development will feature 225,000 square feet of office space, a 40,000-square foot indoor-outdoor market, as well as a new home for the Saxon Pub. Construction is slated to begin in mid-2016 and completed in early 2018.
