Description
Position your business at one of East Austin’s most dynamic and rapidly evolving intersections. Unit #104 at Waterstreet Lofts offers a rare opportunity to own a highly visible commercial storefront just minutes from Downtown, in the heart of the East Cesar Chavez corridor.

This two-level commercial condominium features expansive street-facing glass frontage along Cesar Chavez, delivering excellent branding exposure and natural light. The ground floor is well-suited for client-facing operations including showroom, studio, boutique office, or service-based concepts, while the upper loft provides a flexible secondary workspace ideal for private offices, collaborative areas, or executive use.

Located at the signalized corner of Cesar Chavez and Comal, the property benefits from strong daily traffic counts, consistent pedestrian activity, and immediate proximity to some of East Austin’s most established destinations. The surrounding area is anchored by a dense mix of restaurants, coffee shops, creative studios, and residential density, all contributing to a built-in customer base and workforce.

Additional features include controlled-access parking with two reserved spaces, a modern industrial aesthetic, and walkable access to Lady Bird Lake, the Saltillo District, and Downtown Austin. The location provides quick connectivity to I-35, East 6th Street, and the broader urban core.

This is a strategic opportunity for an owner-user seeking a long-term foothold in one of Austin’s most supply-constrained and high-demand urban submarkets.

Description 

Waterstreet Lofts is a mixed-use condominium development located in the heart of East Austin’s highly desirable East Cesar Chavez corridor. Completed in 2007, the project combines residential lofts with a limited number of ground-floor commercial units, creating a built-in customer base and a dynamic live/work environment.

The building features modern loft-style construction with high ceilings, large windows, and a contemporary industrial aesthetic. Residents and commercial occupants benefit from controlled access, a gated parking garage, and a well-maintained common area structure managed by the condominium association.

Positioned at the signalized intersection of Cesar Chavez and Comal, the property offers strong visibility and immediate access to one of Austin’s most active urban corridors. The surrounding area is characterized by a dense mix of residential growth, boutique retail, restaurants, coffee shops, and creative office users, all contributing to consistent pedestrian activity and neighborhood demand.

Waterstreet Lofts is located just minutes from Downtown Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and the Saltillo District, with convenient access to I-35 and East 6th Street.
