800 W 5th St Unit #1001, Austin, TX 78703

Set on the 10th floor of the iconic Austin City Lofts, this remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bath corner residence offers 1,506 square feet of updated living space with expansive Hill Country and cityscape views. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the living areas, capturing striking sunsets and natural light, with electric window shades for effortless control. The open-concept interior features designer-selected finishes and a reconfigured kitchen with quartz countertops and backsplash, complemented by under-cabinet lighting, refreshed cabinetry, and new appliances. Lutron lighting and updated controls create a cohesive, modern feel, complemented by custom wall textures. Designed with both entertaining and everyday living in mind, the living area is equipped with a 120-inch projection screen, integrated video system, and Sonos audio. A custom cabinetry installation in the dining area provides exceptional storage while maintaining the loft aesthetic. The primary suite features an additional custom-built closet, enhancing storage well beyond the standard layout. The guest bedroom is appointed with custom drapery, offering flexibility for visitors or a dedicated home office. Every update reflects intentional design choices, creating a residence that feels elevated. Two reserved parking spaces convey. Residents enjoy boutique living with a 24-hour concierge, pool and hot tub, outdoor dining and grilling areas, and access to Shoal Creek. Enjoy a walkable downtown lifestyle with easy access to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, gyms, Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail, and everyday essentials including Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. HOA dues include water, sewer, trash, gas. A rare opportunity to own a remodeled corner home in one of downtown Austin’s most established residential buildings.

The 10th floor corner unit at 800 W 5th St in Austin City Lofts gives you the raw bones of industrial living with the finishes of someone who actually knows how to inhabit a loft. Exposed concrete, metal siding on all sides, and floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap the living areas like the structure itself is the design statement. This is 1,506 square feet of authentic loft space, not a trend.

The volume here works. The ceiling heights let light move through the unit from sunrise over the Hill Country to sunset over downtown. Two reserved parking spaces in the building's secure garage handle the logistics of urban living without pretense. The open floor plan respects the skeleton of the building rather than fighting it, with a kitchen reconfigured around quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances that match the industrial language instead of contradicting it. Track lighting and Lutron controls sit alongside granite counters and custom wall textures, proving that functional design and honest materials don't need apology.

The texture comes from deliberate choices. A custom cabinetry installation in the dining area pulls double duty as storage and sculpture. The primary suite includes a custom-built walk-in closet that acknowledges real life in an urban setting. The guest bedroom takes custom drapery and flexible space, something useful in a 2-bedroom at this address. Slate and stone flooring ground the space in materiality. A soaking tub and double vanity in the second full bath add the one indulgence this building allows itself.

What you're buying is canvas. The 120-inch projection screen and integrated Sonos audio system are documented. The electric window shades, ceiling fans, and updated controls stay with the unit. But the real value is that nothing here insists on a particular lifestyle. Austin City Lofts sits at W 5th and Lamar, steps from Shoal Creek trail access, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and the full weight of downtown Austin's restaurant and bar scene. The building itself has 24-hour concierge, a pool, hot tub, and grilling areas facing the creek. Austin ISD schools include Mathews Elementary (GreatSchools 10/10) and Austin High (7/10).

At $895,000, or $594 per square foot, this is positioned for someone who understands that a loft's value sits in its emptiness and what you choose to put there. The bones are honest. The canvas is yours.
