Lottery for South Austin’s 15-unit Solavera homes

AUSTIN – Meritage Homes Corp. construction on Solavera will start by the end of the year. The upscale 15-unit development is in the South Lamar Blvd. corridor.

Solavera encompasses a little over three acres at 2807 Del Curto Rd., a short distance east of the intersection of South Lamar Blvd. and Manchaca Rd.

Prices will likely begin in the $600,000s for the contemporary-styled houses that range in size from 1,814 sf to 2,866 sf.

Interest in Solavera is so strong that the home builder will hold a lottery for qualified buyers. Potential buyers must be prequalified for a loan of $520,000 or more, according to Charlie Coleman, Austin division president of Meritage Homes.
