Three independent 3-story homes, each with its own entrance, private balconies, and roof access — sold separately. Ten minutes to downtown and the tech corridor; a short walk to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and the restaurants of South Lamar & South First.

Build diary

Framing, day by day.

Since the frames started going up we’ve been walking the site almost daily — here’s the build growing in near-real time, newest first. Photos are added after every site walk; tap any photo to zoom.

Oct 7, 2026

Two homes wrapped — and the site has power

Home 1 and Home 2 are now both dressed in their white weather wrap, window openings trimmed and waiting for glass. Home 2’s third floor keeps framing above its wrapped shoulders, and the garage walls are up along the lane. One more quiet milestone hiding in plain sight: the electric meter is set on its pole — labeled 1708 Collier St — so the site now runs on its own power. Windows are next; the black frames you’ve seen in our renderings are on order.

The white coat goes on

Home 1 put on its weather jacket this week: Tyvek house wrap now covers the sheathing from the second floor up, sealing the shell against wind and rain before the siding goes on. Every window opening is trimmed and ready for its unit — those black-framed windows from the renderings are next. Behind it, Homes 2 and 3 keep framing out their upper floors. One home dressed for the weather, two close behind.

Standing under the roof

Two days, a lot of lumber. Roof structure now spans the frames — stand on a third floor and there are joists over your head instead of sky. From up on Home 1 you can look down the whole row: sheathed walls glowing in the evening light, trusses marching across Homes 2 and 3, the quiet corner below. Ella walked the top floor under the new roof framing — the first time this build has had a “ceiling.” Sheathing now wraps both sides of the lane, and the three volumes finally read the way the renderings always promised.

Windows find their views

Two milestones this week. Window openings are now cut into Home 1’s sheathed walls — each one placed exactly where the drawings put it, and each one already framing a view. Stand at an upper-floor opening and you get the second photo: treetops, morning light, the quiet street below. Meanwhile Homes 2 and 3 have their roof trusses up — the rooflines you’ve seen in our renderings are now real lumber against the sky.

The lane between the homes appears

Something new today: for the first time you can stand in the space between the houses and feel it as a place. Sheathed walls now rise on both sides of the shared walk, truss decks span overhead, and the garage openings are framed and wrapped. Homes 2 and 3 carry their second-floor decks, and Ella walked the lane end to end — the path future neighbors will take home every day. Three independent homes, and now you can see the little street they share.

Views from the second floor

For the first time, these photos weren’t taken from the ground — we shot them standing on the framed decks themselves. From up there you can already read the life of these homes: the treetop line, the quiet street below, the light coming through what will be the big windows. The stair tower now frames clear through three levels, sheathing keeps climbing, and the truss ceilings overhead show exactly how the floors stack. This is the view a morning coffee will get.

The skin goes on

Home 1 stops being see-through: OSB sheathing now wraps the first two floors, with weather protection going on at the corners — the frame is becoming a shell. Up top, the third-floor walls stand ready for their roof. And the site has changed shape behind it too: Homes 2 and 3 are climbing into their second stories. From the neighbor’s fence line, it finally reads as what it is — three houses, coming up together.

The third floor climbs

Home 1 breaks into its third story — the tallest walls yet, standing clear above the sycamore branches in the evening light. The rebuilt staircase now runs from the slab all the way up, so you can walk the full height of the house for the first time. Behind it, Homes 2 and 3 have their first-floor walls up and floor trusses staged — three frames, one street corner, right on sequence.

The stairs, resolved The cliffhanger, answered

Here’s the story: when the first staircase was framed, it met code — but it didn’t match the design we’d promised. So we made the call most builders won’t: take it out and reframe it right. The new stair is in. And so it never happens again, the full updated drawing set and renderings now live on a stand at the site — the crew builds from the exact pictures you see on this page. That’s what “built like it’s ours” means.

The second floor tops out

Home 1 is standing at full two-story height — window openings reading against the sky, lumber staged for the next pour of work. And about those stairs… still to come.

The stairs have a story… To be continued

Something happened on the stairs today — the kind of decision that shows what a builder is made of. We’re working it through with the structural engineer right now. Full story, with photos, in the next entry. Follow the build so you don’t miss it.

Two stories — the stairs are in

The staircase went in and the second floor is framing up against the treetops. Standing on the new deck you can already read the upstairs rooms.

First-floor walls across all three homes

Walls and door headers standing on all three slabs — rooms you can walk through for the first time. Ella walked every one of them.
