Out with the old, in with the new student housing

​AUSTIN ​​– The city council has voted to remove the historic Dabney-Horner home on the University of Texas’ west campus to make room for student housing.

The property, owned by Austin City Realty Founder David Kanne, will b​e moved half a mile from its current location at 507 ​W. 23rd St. to 901 Shoal Cliff Ct. 

Kanne plans to sell the site on 23rd St. to Johnson Trube & Associates, which will build a 670-bed student housing development. Ten percent of the beds will be available​ as affordable housing to residents earning no more than 60 percent of the area median family income. ​​
