Austin continues to play an ever-increasing role in our portfolio. The high-tech job base is a strong complement to more service-oriented markets and attracts a high percentage of our targeted renter-by-choice customers. Although Austin’s very well organized environmental coalition has produced formidable barriers to entry in the most desirable neighborhoods, we have been able to invest in these best locations.

Gables’ strategy of building in highly selective, in-fill locations has allowed us to achieve exceptional results. In addition to winning awards in state and national design competitions, our Austin communities produce among the higher per-square-foot rental rates in our portfolio. The many attractions of Austin — its beautiful topography, university setting, focus as the state capital, and prominence in the high-tech sector — make it an excellent market for the Gables brand of upscale apartment homes.
