Johnson Trube & Associates to Build Student Housing Property in Austin

by Haisten Willis

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Austin-based developer Johnson Trube & Associates is developing Skyloft, a Class A student housing property one block from the University of Texas at Austin campus. Located at 507 W. 23rd St., the project will total 22 floors, with four below-grade parking levels and 18 residential levels. Skyloft will house 212 units with a mix of one- to four-bedroom units totaling 677 beds. The project will feature a rooftop pool and fitness center, 24-hour study lounges, media room and underground parking. A recent vote by the Austin City Council green-lighted the move of the historic Dabney-Horne home currently on the site, which is allowing the Johnson Trube development to move forward. The development will offer a percentage of its units as affordable housing. Johnson Trube & Associates plans to break ground in August with an opening scheduled for late July/early August 2018. Project team members include architectural firms Mark Hart Architecture and STG Design and general contractor JE Dunn Construction.
