Shady Lane Creative Studios
A three-story mixed-use development, 1141 Shady Lane is a conglomeration of three right triangles, each penetrated by light wells and organized around a courtyard surrounding an existing house and existing trees.
1141 Shady Lane offers a unique opportunity to invest in creative studio and retail spaces in the exciting, rapidly evolving neighborhood of East Austin. This historically diverse and vibrant community is now Austin’s foremost arts district, where studios, galleries, bars, cafes, and food trucks abound. A playful mash-up of old-school Austin institutions and brand new local startups add to the undeniably unique character, providing a relaxed and colorful counterpoint to the bland and sterile central business district.
The property is part of the thinkEAST master planned development, offering affordable live/work, flexible studio space, and services. Located on formerly undeveloped land midway between ABIA and the CBD, and designated by Austin for increased density and infrastructure investment, the immediate vicinity is poised to explode with exciting new development.
