News Article: Community Impact
Empire Communities, known for their housing projects in the Mueller area, has introduced two new home models and a series of floor plans, now available for public viewing in the Goodnight Ranch community in southeast Austin.
The details
In the first collection, future homes will range from 1,905 to 2,340 square feet. The three-story designs will feature three- and four-bedroom spaces. The concept places six houses along one shared driveway, forming a small “neighborhood niche,” according to a news release.
“Goodnight Ranch has residentially dense neighborhoods, and our [concept] aligns with this vision without giving up space,” said Terry Shuffler, a division president with Empire Communities, in a statement. “The three-story designs allow for ample room and are especially appealing to buyers who would rather enjoy Austin’s many amenities than spending time on yard work.”
Though yard work will be minimal, each living space includes one outdoor space per floor plan. Known as Modern Urban Homes, the homes will begin selling for $430,000.
In the second collection of plans, Empire Communities features three-story condominium units, ranging from 2,316 to 2,443 square feet. The condos will begin selling for $700,000 and include multiple outdoor spaces.
The last of the unveiled floor plans include single-family homes built on 30-foot lots, beginning at $450,000.
“These designs are perfect for multigenerational families, giving just enough privacy,” Shuffler said.
Goodnight Ranch, a master-planned community developed by Benchmark Development, has utilized concepts from new urbanism planning to develop a distinctly Austin-centric hub, according to the developer’s website. The mixed-use community will include single-family homes, shared spaces, parks, an amenity center, swimming pools and various recreational areas.
