AUSTIN, TX—More than 3,800 rooms are under construction in Austin, accounting for 10% of current inventory, according to a second half 2018 hospitality report by Marcus & Millichap. One of those properties is underway in the SoCo district.

When completed in the fall of 2019, Magdalena Hotel and Condominiums will be the largest hotel to date for noted Texas hotelier, Liz Lambert and her Austin-based Bunkhouse hospitality group, which operates the nearby Austin Motel, Hotel San José and Hotel Saint Cecilia in the SoCo district. Owners of the project are Hotel Magdalena Joint Venture LLC and Woodbine Development Corporation.
