Additional Property Attributes

College Houses provides affordable housing for college students near the University of Texas at Austin. They are looking to expand and renovate their 21st Street cooperative. To complete the renovations, they have applied for HUD funding through the City of Austin Neighborhood Housing and Community Development (NHCD), which requires a Phase I ESA as part of the due diligence in the application process. The Phase I ESA was completed in April 2019. The Phase I ESA identified historical dry cleaners in the vicinity of the property, and subsequent concerns about potential subsurface vapor issues. A vapor encroachment survey was recommended to determine if the property was affected by volatile organic compounds from dry cleaners. Samples were collected and analyzed following the ASTM standard (E2600) using City of Austin funds. None of the samples analyzed had exceedances, and no further action is anticipated at this time.

Former Use: The 21st Street Coop was built in 1974 as the first structure in Austin designed and constructed specifically for use as a student housing coop. This multi-family structure features a "treehouse" inspired design, with five separate buildings joined with wooden walkways surrounding a central courtyard of green space. This creative architecture lends 21st Street Coop a true feeling of community, making it much more than affordable student housing.
