LEANDER, Texas – (Realty News Report) – Houston-based multifamily developer Allied Orion Group is building The Southbrook, a 360-unit, garden-style apartment community in Leander, one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S.
Located roughly 30 miles northwest of Austin, Leander has an estimated population of 62,600, according to U.S. Census Bureau data for the 12-month period ending July 1, 2019. That report recorded a 12 percent annual population increase for Leander, the largest percentage growth among U.S. cities during that interval.
“We are pleased to be developing and managing an attractive rental option for the Leander and Northwest Austin communities,” said Ricardo Rivas, Chief Executive Officer of Allied Orion Group. “The Southbrook is the latest addition to our portfolio of high-quality apartment homes under development in the Austin market and surrounding areas—one of the nation’s most rapidly expanding regions.”
The Southbrook was designed by Humphreys and Partners Architects.
The community is sited at 260 South Brook Drive on two adjoining tracts of land in Leander near Highway 183.
This upscale development is within walking distance of the new Austin Community College campus, St. David’s Hospital, and Capital Metro rail service. The property sits adjacent to the Northline master-planned project currently under development.
Founded in 1985, Allied Orion Group manages a national portfolio of more than 23,000 apartment homes. The firm has acquired or developed more than 14,000 units and is headquartered in Houston, with additional offices in Denver, Dallas, and San Antonio.
Unit plans at The Southbrook will offer one- to three-bedroom layouts featuring granite countertops with undermount sinks, upgraded stainless-steel appliance packages, enhanced kitchen and bathroom fixtures, tile backsplashes, wood-engineered flooring, garden tubs and upgraded showers, nine- and ten-foot ceilings, and built-in USB charging stations.
Resident amenities include a Dog Spa and gated dual dog park, attached garages, package delivery service, and electric vehicle charging stations.
The project previously carried the name The Retreat at Oak Creek.
