project as singular as The Austonian demands a unique team to bring it about. The Austonian team
combines the passion and talent of local developers who have been committed to Austin for decades
with the global strength of a multi-national company experienced in condominium development.
Headquartered in Spain, Grupo Villar Mir (GVM) is one of the largest family-owned businesses in
the European Union. Chairman Juan-Miguel Villar Mir and his company finance diverse, large-
scale ventures in 12 countries across four continents. The high level of quality rendered by GVM
throughout the EU earned it the “Best of European Business Grand Prix Award” in 2006.
GVM has developed and sold over 7,000 individual residential condominium units over the past
decade and has controlling interest in OHL, which has been involved in development since 1912.
OHL has built and sold over 20,000 residential condominium units over the past decade.
GVM extended its luxury development reputation with Mayakoba, a collection of four of the world’s
finest luxury hotels located on Mexico’s exclusive Riviera Maya. The Banyan Tree, Fairmont, Rosewood
and Viceroy properties have been sustainably developed and form a luxury village environment
in which land is shared and the properties are interconnected via waterways. With careful
consideration of the beautiful natural environment, each Mayakoba property is situated around
lagoons, cenotes and pristine beaches. Guests experience unparalleled views and breathtaking
landscape coupled with outdoor leisure and recreation. The Greg Norman-designed El Camaleón golf
course is home to the PGA Tour Mayakoba Golf Classic.
Until The Austonian, their stateside centerpiece, GVM’s unmatched properties could be experienced
only abroad. Now GVM and its Austin-based subsidiary, Benchmark Land Development, are building
this culmination of a long-term vision, an iconic Texan residential luxury community in the heart of
the capital of Texas. GVM and Benchmark have been creating residential communities in Central
Texas for nearly two decades. But The Austonian stands apart, just as it stands tall as the highest
residential building in the western United States.

GREEN FROM THE INSIDE OUT. AND THE GROUND UP.
From the way it’s constructed to the particular brand of luxurious living it affords, The Austonian is one of
the most sustainable addresses in Austin. A long list of features has resulted in The Austonian seeking a
four-star rating from the City of Austin in its Green Building Program, equivalent to the LEED Gold
Rating from the USGBC.
WATER SAVINGS
It is estimated that The Austonian will save 35.6 million gallons of water each year in landscape watering
alone, compared to a typical Hill Country community of 178 families living on one-acre suburban lots. This
is due not only to The Austonian community requiring little land, but also to its unique rainwater capture
system, requiring no public water for landscape irrigation of The Lawn. Low-flow toilets and lavatories are
installed, which will reduce the use of potable water by at least 30% over typical fixtures.
The Austonian’s location puts dining, shopping, entertainment, employment and recreation within a
five-minute walk, lowering the carbon footprint for every resident. Secured bicycle storage makes zero-fuel
transportation an excellent option. Families in typical single family homes generate 10 vehicle trips per day.
Urban living reduces the vehicle trips per day and shortens those daily vehicle trips that are needed.
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
The Austonian residences have been designed to maximize outdoor views. Specially coated and insulated
glass provides year-round energy savings and comfort by helping manage the sun’s energy and maximizing
heating and air conditioning (HVAC) efficiency. All adhesives, sealants, paints and coatings used
throughout public and private spaces adhere to the strict VOC requirements designed by the LEED’s Green
Building Rating System. These low-emitting materials achieve energy savings through reduced ventilation
requirements, improve indoor air quality, and all come from sustainable sources. The Austonian’s roofing
system combines reflective materials and other green features to minimize the building’s contribution to
Austin’s urban heat island effect.
ELECTRICAL POWER
The Austonian is working with local power provider Austin Energy to ensure that energy use is as efficient
as possible. The building’s heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system, which includes climate control in
each of the 178 units, is connected to the City of Austin’s chilled water system. Using chilled water for air
conditioning in lieu of over 178 individual condensation units results in more efficient production of cool
air and a lower overall impact on natural resources. In common spaces, sensors and dimming ballasts will
reduce the amount of lighting used when they are unoccupied.
ustin is a city like no other because it is home at heart. Austin is both nostalgic and new.
Elegant and quirky. Small town and big city.
Austin is a place where high-tech is higher ed, and higher education is Longhorn football.
Austin is a city where attending the symphony in cowboy boots is as natural as wailing Willie
or belting ZZ Top on Sixth Street. A place where Katz’s Deli, Zilker Park and Lance Armstrong
are legendary lore.
Austin is like nowhere else in Texas, and keeping it that way – weird some would say – is a
proud pastime.
At the end of the day, Austin is a state of mind with a lasting spirit. Just ask anyone who’s
lived here.
Austin is home.
And, The Austonian is Austin.
Conveniently located at 2nd Street and Congress, The Austonian is in the prime location
to give you life in the middle of it all, but above it all. Walk a block or two in one direction,
you’ll step onto a dance floor – another, you’ll be on a lakeside walking trail. Turning one
corner this way or that means enjoying the food and drink from entirely different continents.
There’s a violin concert on one block and a fiddle on the next.
Or stay put because at The Austonian, you’ll be in the heart of everything Austin offers, and
you’ll be in your private sanctuary enjoying a luxurious lifestyle incomparable to any hotel.
At The Austonian, you’ll enjoy Austin’s highest level of living.
Austin heart. Austin home. The Austonian.
utting technology at your fingertips is something that happens quite literally at The Austonian.
One touch screen in your home makes standard and optional services easy to access. You or your
guests can notify the valet to get your car ready and receive an alert when it is at the curb; you can
make reservations at many restaurants, or check movie showtimes and purchase tickets. Be alerted
when visitors have arrived, schedule housekeeping services and report maintenance concerns.
All local weather information is posted on your touch screen, and you can easily access local traffic
cameras to help you plan your day. Stay informed of Home Owners’ Association news. Reserve the
spa, the massage room, The Austonian Club, or conference room – all of The Austonian’s amenities
are within an arm’s reach.
If you desire even more functionality, you can add upgrades. The touch screen can be enabled to
control your home’s climate, lighting, telephone and security systems, even music and movies that
you can enjoy in any room of your home. You can schedule when lights and climate control turn on
to maximize safety, security and energy savings. The system can even notify you by email or phone if
it detects any problems with your heating or cooling. You can also observe the inside and outside of
your home anytime you want, from anywhere. In fact, all the systems of your home can be remotely
monitored and controlled from any telephone, PDA or via the Internet. You can also use it to monitor
a second home.
Every home in The Austonian is pre-wired for the most advanced and high-speed wired and wireless
Internet access, due to our three independent Tier 1 fiber-optic backbones. In addition, your home is
pre-wired for stereo speakers in the master bed, bath and kitchen, with surround sound in the living
room and high-definition video in the master bedroom and living room. Wiring for standard security
systems is also installed.
The Austonian. It’s high technology at its highest!
