Caffé Medici will open this winter at The Austonian in downtown Austin. It will be the Austin-based espresso and coffee house’s third location in Austin. The announcement marks the fourth locally owned business to open in The Austonian’s roughly 11,000 square feet of retail fronting Congress Avenue and Second Street. Frozen yogurt shop Berry Austin and two restaurants by La Corsha Restaurant Partners — Congress and Second at Congress — will open there this fall. About 2,600 square feet of retail space remains available on the north-northeast end of the building. “We welcome the addition of Caffé Medici to the downtown neighborhood we’re helping create,” said David Mahn, vice president with Benchmark Development, the developer of The Austonian. “We believe this project, along with our other restaurants and shops, brings a new and engaging dimension to this corner of downtown Austin. Second and Congress is going to be a bustling spot.”
The 178-unit, 56-story luxury high-rise — touted as the tallest residential building west of the Mississippi River — opened in June. About 70 of its units are sold or under contract and range in price from $500,000 to $8 million.
