Formerly a church and now a 6-plex, this 8,002 SF flat corner lot is zoned MLT FAM DWLG (Multi-Family Dwelling) and offers a flexible foundation for your next high-end project. With all city utilities available at the street and easy access from Blanco Street, South Lamar, and both 5th and 6th Streets, this site is ideal for a teardown and new construction.

Whether your vision is a luxury single-family residence, multi-unit build, or boutique condo development, this site delivers the zoning, location, and demand to support it. Buyers in this area are high-income professionals, relocators, and second-home owners who place a premium on walkability. From this lot, you’re just steps from Clark’s Oyster Bar, Whole Foods HQ, Swedish Hill, Better Half Coffee, Pease Park, and the Lady Bird Lake Trail. The property is zoned to the sought-after Mathews Elementary School and sits among some of the most desirable infill builds in the city. With no HOA restrictions, unmatched location, and multiple exit strategies, this is a rare opportunity to build in one of Austin’s strongest performing submarkets. If you're seeking flexibility, lifestyle appeal, and long-term value in Central Austin, 1201 W 8th is the one.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
