It is absolutely no secret that Austin and Central Texas continue to outpace the vast majority of the country in terms of population growth and new construction. This outstanding map of the greater Austin area (see below), provided by the Austin Office of ARA Real Estate Investment Services , gives a very clear picture of that growth by showing Multifamily developments that are either under construction or slated to begin construction soon.
The information shown in this map is echoed by the fact that the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) reported in May that Multifamily construction starts were up 39.6% for the month of April, according to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau.
We are proud to say that EN, Incorporated has played a vital role in the development of thirteen (13) of the projects listed on this map as we continue our mission to help build Austin. You can learn more about EN’s representative Multifamily and Mixed Use projects here.
EN, Incorporated has had the privilege of providing MEP Consulting and Engineering services on the following Multifamily projects shown on the map:
- #6 – Regents West – 93 units
- #7 – 7 Rio – 221 units
- #10 – AMLI Mueller – 279 units
- #19 – Elan East – 251 units
- #24 – Lamar Union – 442 units

While these comprise some of our most recent projects here in the Austin area, this is just a small sampling of the total number of projects that we have provided mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering design for over the last 43 years across the U.S. We have specialized in Multifamily developments for the past 20 years, so you would be hard pressed to find an MEP firm with more trips around the “Multifamily block”.
We would love to sit down and discuss your vision for your next development, whether it be Multifamily, Mixed Use, Office Space, Retail or Medical. Please reach out by sending us a message here or by calling 512-918-9315. We look forward to the opportunity to join forces with you soon to help bring your project to life.
Construction is well under way on a 244-unit multifamily development located in the 2900 block of Manor Road in Austin, Texas. The Manor Road Apartments, a project developed by Greystar Real Estate Partners and designed by Meeks + Partners Architects, have been under development since early 2012.
As the included photos illustrate, construction crews have already completed framing and roofing on multiple buildings. Much of the exterior finishing work has been completed on several buildings as well, with a small number of units already occupied. With approximately 190,000 square feet of conditioned space spread across seven buildings in the project, the construction phase can be expected to last up to 15 months. An estimated full occupancy date is unknown at this time.
The Manor Road Apartments were designed to meet the National Green Building Standard (NGBS) and are the largest single mixed use project proposed to date for the M. L. King, Jr. Station Transit Oriented Development (TOD) located in East Austin.
EN, Inc., MEP Consulting Engineers, proudly provided full Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing design services for this Austin multifamily project and we are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work closely with Greystar and Meeks + Partners on another quality dwelling in beautiful Austin, Texas.
As these recent aerial photos indicate, the 179-unit multifamily housing project in Georgetown, Texas, known as Two Rivers Apartments, is still on track for an April 2013 completion.
The project is located at the confluence of the North and South San Gabriel Rivers and boasts a total of 184,000 square feet of construction, which is primarily comprised of 1- and 2-bedroom units. Many of these units include wooded, river or park views enabling full enjoyment of this serene setting.
A Two Rivers retail development is also planned for a nearby site, which will include 7,650 square feet of restaurant, office and retail space and will be considered a part of the San Gabriel “Riverwalk”. According to Larry Peel Company, the retail section is being developed “with a heavy environmental focus and dedication to preserving and accenting the natural surroundings”. The development will be located approximately six blocks from the Downtown Square in Georgetown.
EN, Incorporated, MEP Consulting Engineers headquartered in Austin, Texas, is proud to be part of the team, which also includes Kelly Grossman Architects, that has worked diligently to make this project a success.
