AUSTIN, Texas and TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tucson-based Diamond Ventures, Inc. has partnered with Austin-based Legacy Communities, both family-owned businesses, to purchase and master plan a mixed-use condo project in emerging East Austin. Located at the intersection of 51^st and Springdale Rd., the site rests less than five minutes from the renowned Mueller community and ten minutes from the University of Texas at Austin downtown campus.

The partners closed on the 4-acre property on Monday December 17^th. Both companies have experience in the Austin market as real estate investors and residential general contractors. This is Diamond Ventures' first development project in Austin as a general partner and Legacy Communities continues to expand its multi-family general contracting business to assume the master developer role. Legacy Communities Partners, Philip Jalufka and Cass Brewer, have witnessed the rapid growth of luxury developments in the East Austin market and were inspired by the idea of bringing a new residential offering to this community at an attractive price point.

"The family of Legacy companies is pleased to have been chosen to lead Diamond Ventures entry as a developer into the Austin market," said Legacy Communities Partner, Cass Brewer "their reputation and success is unparalleled in Arizona, and together we will deliver something really unique to Austin residential buyers."

The project is planned to provide market-rate attainable homes and live-work commercial opportunities in proximity to the downtown central business district, as well as easy access via 183A and 130 to Austin's technology employers and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

"We are excited to enter the Austin market on the dynamic eastside, close to Mueller, UT, and downtown and with Legacy, an experienced Austin multi-family developer," said David Goldstein, President, Diamond Ventures, Inc.

This mixed-use development is expected to begin taking reservations in early Spring of 2019 and complete construction of the first condominium building in 2020.
