Thanks so much for the support. I wanted to give your audience a little more info on our project.

840 SF Live-Work Warehouse Studios for $129,900!
The Cobra community thus far includes film makers, a media artist, computer programmer, a graphic designer, several painters, an architect, a conservator, a musician and other creative individuals.
If you are interested in big volume, functionality and believe less is more, The Cobra’s legit industrial live-work studios will fulfill your need for huge, well built space!
The Cobra is constructed of the most sustainable industrial materials available and shall exceed all requirements for Austin Energy’s Green Building Program 5 Star Rating. Extremely low environmental impact with only 6 studios per single story building (no one living above you). There are only 4 buildings with 24 studios on over 2 acres creating an expansive, 1/2 acre, landscaped courtyard irrigated with a rainwater collection system. Large window walls open on each end of the space creating an indoor-outdoor pavilion effect connecting to your dedicated outdoor gardening area. Vehicular parking hidden from central garden areas to create an interior park like feel.
All steel, aluminum and concrete construction! Separation walls are constructed of acoustically rated (STC=53), reinforced 12″ thick insulated concrete block. Highly insulated R-30 industrial “cool” single-ply roof system by Firestone. Aluminum storefront entrances by Kawneer. All glass is insulated, high performance TIAC 36 with light green tint. Exposed steel trusses and steel decking. Art gallery type multi-zone track lighting systems throughout. Exposed electrical and communication system with surface mount steel conduit. Wireless security system. Industrial Velux sun tunnels for day lighting. Commercial stainless finishes in the kitchen and bathroom. Commercial grade 3/4″ MDF melamine cabinets. Large bathroom with dual vanities, dual flush toilet and huge, multi-person, walk-in shower area. Walk-in utility room/closet combination. High efficiency mechanical and hot water systems exceeding 2006 International Energy Codes. Energy Star rated gas appliances. Concrete floors and walls throughout. This ain’t your grandma’s house!
Please inquire about Down Payment Assistance for First Time Homebuyers who make less than $41,500 annually. Every studio at The Cobra qualifies for this amazing program. Imagine $40,000 in down payment assistance from the City of Austin at 0% interest. Combine this with the Fed’s new $8000 tax credit for a reduction in sales price of almost $50,000 reducing the effective loan amount to approximately $80,000. Total monthly payments (mortgage, taxes, insurance and association fees), as well as factoring in annual home ownership income tax write-offs, creates a very low cost of ownership. Also, we have applied for FHA Project Approval for those purchasers who require FHA financing. Combine all this with interest rates below 5% and it becomes an historical opportunity for first time homebuyers with a creative side.
The first 2 buildings are complete and we are set to commence closings in May. The second two buildings will follow shortly. If you dream of a true industrial warehouse, live-work space, you will love The Cobra Studios.
