Oden Hughes broke ground on the second phase of two projects: Landmark Southpark and Landmark Double Creek communities in South Austin. Oden Hughes principal and co-founder Steve Oden (far right here with principals Eric Taylor, Stephani Park, and Craig Hughes) tells us the area’s strong job market and quality of life is still attracting new residents. “Renters are increasingly looking at South Austin because of the area’s relative affordability compared to downtown and its close proximity to major employment centers, retail options, and entertainment venues,” he says.

Oden Hughes will add 285 units immediately south of its Landmark Southpark community near the Southpark Meadows retail center at the intersection of South First Street and Slaughter, bordering the 344-acre Mary Moore Searight Park to the south, Steve tells us. Oden Hughes also recently broke ground on 276 units adjacent to the community formerly known as Landmark Double Creek (rendered), which Oden Hughes completed in 2013 and sold last year to Toronto-based Brass Enterprises. That property has since been renamed The Landing. Located three miles south of Landmark Southpark on the north side of Onion Creek Parkway, the project is scheduled to open next August. Oden Hughes Taylor Construction will be the general contractor on both projects. Oden Hughes Management will be in charge of leasing and operations upon completion.
