Envy Magazine Party at SoLa Condos
South Lamar Boulevard bustles with potential.
Jacob Cottingham, Catherine Nicole
It lacks the compact, pedestrian-friendly density of South Congress Avenue — and traffic along the boulevard can be daunting — but SoLa is catching up with SoCo in other ways.
Mackenzie Price, Mark Bennett
For instance, projects like the SoLa condos on Bluebonnet Lane. Moderately priced (for central Austin), vertical and set up for entertaining, these residences throw in a view of downtown from many third floors.
Bart Padar, Pansy Cornett, Brian Cornett
We explored several units during an Envy Magazine party, staged the help of restaurants (Primizie, Rio Grande, etc.), the inevitable Sweet Leaf Tea and AustinArtGarage.com, which dressed the walls with local work.
Jim Trungle, Heather Carroll, Jason Hill
Think about it: South Lamar is bracketed by two magnificent amenities, Central Market and Whole Foods. It offers a range of eateries, from Uchi and Olivia to Maria’s Tacos and Sazón. Top-notch entertainment can be had at the Broken Spoke, Saxon Pub and Alamo Drafthouse. Dozens of boutiques and more mundane shops line the boulevard.
Michael Perez, Mayra Rowley
Now if they could give it real sidewalks and a sustained visual identity.
