Located at 2416 E.
Sixth Street in Austin, UpCycle represents a top-to-bottom renovation that
transformed a 1972-built recycling facility into a new standard of
institutional quality, creative office space for Austin.
The project totals two stories and 81,606 square feet and is
peppered with ‘Austin’ features like artistic graffiti pillars and the
retention of several original project elements, including areas that feature
the building’s original corrugated metal exterior and incorporate artwork by
local artists from the building’s prior use.

As part of the project’s improvements, the development team also installed entirely new building systems comparable to the best Class A buildings in the city.
UpCycle sits in East
Austin, 1.5 miles from Austin’s central business district and within walking
distance to light rail and a host of shopping and dining destinations.
