St. David’s Foundation firm on $22M Austin HQ

AUSTIN – Construction is underway at the corner of 13th St. and San Antonio St. for St. David’s Foundation’s new headquarters.

Upon completion, the $22 million headquarters, located at 1303 San Antonio St., will house its grant writing department and operations for all of its programs, according to Lisa Trahan, director of communications.

St. David’s Foundation is a nonprofit partner of St. David’s HealthCare and currently leases space downtown on Barton Springs Rd.

St. David’s Foundation programs serve the Austin metropolitan area and include mobile dental services, scholarships for aspiring health care professionals and initiatives for mental health, healthy living and clinics for the safety net population.

The nonprofit hopes to move into the building in 2015, and will occupy two of the four floors. The foundation has yet to find tenants for the remaining two floors.
