The 58-acre waterfront property is listed for sale at $15 million. The site is located outside of the greater Austin area on Lake Travis on the Colorado River. Plans have already been approved to build approximately 200 condominiums and a 50-slip marina.

“SG Blocks chose Douglas Elliman for this important sale due to their large presence in the Austin area and their expansive global network. The beautiful waterfront shovel-ready property has garnered a great deal of interest and we’ve already begun to vet potential buyers,” said Paul Galvin, Chairman and CEO of SG Blocks. “We were enthusiastic about creating a presence in Austin, but as we disclosed in February, we determined that locking in the gains from the sharp increase in the value of the land through a sale, was a more prudent path than building on the land ourselves. With the proceeds, we expect to eliminate a portion of our debt, add to our cash position without issuing new shares, and increase the overall liquidity of the Company. We look forward to providing further updates at the appropriate time.”
