• Scarcity & Prestige: With only 99 units, supply is limited — creating exclusivity in downtown Austin condo market. Most units sell off-market and privately.

• Value Drivers: Design pedigree (Wearstler), hotel-lifestyle integration, views, and location are key differentiators

• Resale & Liquidity: High-end condos in boutique buildings often have slower turnover — but for discerning buyers, demand remains strong

• Cost Considerations: Expect premium HOA/maintenance for services, lobby staffing, hotel shared infrastructure
