Built for income, designed for flexibility, and positioned in the only downtown Austin high-rise that actually allows it.

This 17th-floor residence is fully furnished and already performing as a short-term rental, with an established Airbnb presence, strong reviews, and a management setup that can transfer seamlessly. No ramp-up, no guessing. It’s already in motion.
Inside, the layout is clean and efficient with floor-to-ceiling windows, an open flow, and a modern kitchen finished with sleek European-style cabinetry and premium appliances. Every piece, from furniture to décor, is dialed in to attract bookings and maximize usability.
Natiivo operates with a hospitality-driven model, offering a rooftop pool with cabanas, fitness center with yoga and Peloton studios, co-working spaces, café and bar, plus 24-hour concierge and valet. It’s built to support both owners and guests at a high level.
Walkability is a major driver here, with Rainey Street, Lady Bird Lake, and some of Austin’s top restaurants and nightlife just outside the door.

Neighborhood guide and local insights
Downtown Austin runs from the Colorado River north to the Capitol, bounded by I-35 to the east and Lamar to the west. It is the densest residential market in Central Texas with high-rise condos, historic lofts, and luxury towers concentrated in distinct sub-districts. The Seaholm District anchors the west end with the Seaholm Residences and the new Google tower reshaping the skyline. Rainey Street sits along the lake's north shore - what was a street of bungalow bars is now flanked by 40-story residential towers including 70 Rainey and The Lakeshore. The Warehouse District between 3rd and 6th Streets draws buyers who want walkable nightlife and restaurant access. Congress Avenue bisects downtown and remains the civic spine connecting the Capitol to the lake. The Austonian (56 floors), The Independent (58 floors), and 360 Condominiums are the marquee towers. Newer projects like Sixth & Guadalupe and The Republic continue adding inventory. Price points range from $400K studio condos to $5M+ penthouses with lake and Hill Country views. Walk Score averages 95+. The MetroRail Red Line stops at downtown station. Major employers including the State of Texas, UT Austin, and a growing tech presence (Google, Meta, Apple satellite offices) generate consistent housing demand. Nightlife, dining, live music, and Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail are all within walking distance. Buyers here are typically professionals, empty nesters downsizing from suburban estates, investors, and out-of-state relocations drawn to Austin's urban core. HOA fees range from $400/month in older buildings to $2,000+ in full-service towers. Most buildings include concierge, pool, fitness center, and secure parking.
