All This Talk About SXSW …

… got me thinking about Austin and what seems from 700 miles away to be a large and thriving market for modern homes in the Texas capital. (Much bigger than the local market, sadly, despite the fact that Nashville and Austin are almost exactly the same size and have other similarities.) I knew about Agave (in fact, the extensive use of carports in the designs for this development influenced our decision to do a carport at 5706 Burgess), but somehow the even more amazing—but somewhat unfortunately named—Sol development had escaped my attention. Sol is a “net-zero energy community” with 38 affordable modern homes designed by Austin firm KRDB.

Philly-Style Affordable Modern
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008
Nic Darling, whose company is doing what looks from here to be a really nice affordable modern project in Philadelphia, wonders if his optimism about finding a buyer in this market is misplaced. I’ve been looking for a reason to link to Nic and Chad’s blog for some time now, as there are quite a few similarities between our projects, so I’m glad to finally have one. I agree with much of what Nic says, especially the bit about a 10-year tax abatement being a great selling point—wish we could offer that!
