Developers break ground on 5-story luxury multifamily community in East Austin

EMBREY, a San Antonio-based vertically integrated real estate investment company, broke ground on its newest Austin property on June 17.

The details

Designed by firms Lake Flato and GFF Architects, the 400,000 square-foot, 344-unit community called Flats at The Hatchery will feature:

• A rooftop pool deck and clubhouse overlooking downtown Austin
• A fitness center with a sauna and cold plunge
• A residential lounge with coworking facilities
• A pet spa
• A large game room
• A grab-and-go market
• A central courtyard with a fireplace, outdoor kitchens and more

The new community will be located within The Hatchery, a 17-acre mixed-use master-planned development in East Austin that features a walkable neighborhood with retail and multifamily and senior housing. Flats at The Hatchery will be located near Hatchery Park, the development’s public park space.

EMBREY, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, has three other Austin properties, including Arboretum Oaks, Brightleaf at Lakeline and The Upland.

In their own words

“We built apartments, but they are homes,” said EMBREY President and CEO Trey Embrey. “They're places where people make their lives and there's nobility in what we do. We believe that ... [by] building the right product in the right places, ultimately we’ll be successful... You’d have a hard time arguing with me that this is not the ideal location.”

Luxury studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom residential units will be available. The first units are expected to deliver in Q3 of 2027, and the full project is slated to be complete in Q2 2028.
