Historically, the advice when looking for a place to live has always been to follow the artists. From Miami in the 1960s to New York in the 1920s, artists have an extraordinary knack for discovering up-and-coming neighborhoods. These areas often transform into vibrant cultural hubs, drawing people from all walks of life.
A prime example of this creative fusion is The Station at St. Elmo, a luxury condominium complex located at 4510 Terry-O-Lane, Austin.
"This development seamlessly combines the neighborhood’s vibrant artistic roots with modern living," Director of Sales Chance Van Engelen said. "We aimed to pay tribute to the area’s rich past and continuous growth by creating a space that reflects both its history and its future."
Currently in the final phase of sales, The Station offers a range of luxury condominium options and live/work residences priced from the $300s to $900s, with limited inventory remaining. These units are for sale—not for rent—and provide a unique opportunity to buy in a move-in ready development. In addition to the six live/work residences still available, The Station also offers a variety of luxury condominiums, with remaining units ranging from 716 to 1,940 square feet.
A blend of history and innovation
Located in the heart of Austin’s Arts District, The Station is more than just a luxury living space—it’s a vibrant reflection of the area’s rich history and creative evolution.
“St. Elmo has always been a district full of character, from its industrial past to its artistic energy today,” Van Engelen said. “We wanted to create a building that felt like it belonged here—not just a place to live, but a part of the area’s story. The design at The Station reflects this— incorporating antiques from local warehouses and architectural details like vintage light fixtures, reclaimed wood and antique furniture—seamlessly blended into the modern structure.”
The building also incorporates modern elements designed to support the post-pandemic lifestyle. Conceived during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the development team focused on creating spaces that would meet the new realities of remote work.
Live-work residences
The building offers 14 live/work residences, with six still available for purchase. The remaining six range from 1,183 to 2,073 square feet, and are one and two bedroom units. Many of these residences offer direct street-level access, making them an ideal solution for those looking to seamlessly integrate their professional and personal lives.
"These spaces really cater to a growing need in today’s world,” Van Engelen said. “It’s a more financially feasible option for many people. Rather than paying for commercial space, they can secure a conventional loan for both their home and business."
Premium amenities
The Station offers a wide range of amenities designed to enhance the living experience.
On the top floor, residents can enjoy a stylish bar area with panoramic views of the city skyline, perfect for social gatherings or private events. Adjacent to the bar is the Gandy Dancer Room, a yoga studio where residents can unwind or practice their couples dance for their upcoming wedding.
The third floor features the Night Owl Lounge, a cozy, 1920s-style speakeasy designed for relaxed socializing. This lounge also includes a "take a book, leave a book" library, encouraging residents to share their favorite reads.
On the second floor, The Station offers several conference rooms equipped for remote meetings and business calls, catering to the growing demand for work-from-home solutions. These rooms are catered for those who will be on professional business calls and need access to a space that isn’t their home. It also caters to those who need a client-facing business setting.
Additionally, each condominium is designed with a dedicated built-in workspace for residents needing a professional environment, the building also provides multiple full media rooms for client presentations and various meeting areas to conduct business, available to all residents—even those who don't own a live/work residence.
Other amenities include a resort-style pool, outdoor grilling area, ping-pong tables, a private fitness center and a dog park. These amenities were well thought out to be spaces that homeowners could enjoy but the long term maintenance costs are low which in turn has allowed the HOA costs to remain low compared to other condominiums in the area.
Prime location
Nestled at the intersection of creative energy and urban convenience, the building is surrounded by a vibrant mix of galleries, studios, restaurants and bars, The Station is the perfect place for those who want to live where the action is.
Just across the street, residents can enjoy the local flavor of St. Elmo Brewing and the Yard Bar, while pickleball courts provide an active outdoor space for residents.
Additionally, The Station is centrally located, offering easy access to the rest of Austin. Whether heading to downtown for work or exploring the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country, residents are just a short drive away from everything the city has to offer.
With its walkable streets and proximity to the city’s cultural and business hubs, The Station is not only a place to live—it’s a gateway to the best of Austin.
A vision for the future
The Station is not just a place to live—it’s part of a broader vision for the future of Austin’s Arts District.
“Within the next couple years, this area is going to be out of reach for a lot of people. The cheap prices will disappear as the district continues to develop,” Van Engelen said. “For those looking to invest in a neighborhood on the rise, now is the time to act.”
