AUSTIN, TX –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has arranged joint venture equity for the development of Gables Republic Square, a 24-story, Class AA+ mixed-use residential and hotel project in downtown Austin, Texas.

HFF worked exclusively on behalf of the developer, Gables Residential, to arrange joint venture equity for the development of the property through The Carlyle Group.

Due for completion in early 2019, Gables Republic Square will be located at 400 Lavaca Street and will encompass 221 residential units along with a separately-owned, 159-key Hotel ZaZa.  The residential component will have a ground-floor lobby with residential units located on floors 13 through 24. 

Additionally, the Hotel ZaZa lobby, valet, bar and spa will occupy the ground floor while the hotel ballroom, restaurant and swimming pool will be located on floor 7 and guest rooms on floors 8 through 12. 

Floors two through six of the property will be reserved for residential parking, and two levels of subgrade parking will be reserved for the hotel.  Gables Republic Square will be an Austin Energy Green Building (Two Star Level), which is comparable to LEED certification, and features a design inspired by the surrounding historic Warehouse District.

The property’s for-rent homes will offer best-in-class finishes, including granite or quartz counters in kitchens and baths; stainless steel appliances; upgraded cabinetry; in-unit washers and dryers; wood or wood laminate flooring in all living and dining areas; built-in speakers in kitchen and dining area; eight-foot doors; granite thresholds; and balconies.


  Residents will have access to a rooftop amenity area featuring panoramic views of the city as well as a swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, club room, library and state-of-the-art fitness center. 

 In addition, residents will have access to a music practice room shared with the hotel and limited residential room service provided by Hotel ZaZa.
