The Property
A study in urban sophistication, 44 East Ave, a 49-story, 322-unit residential condominium has been designed to make the most of the unique location and to fully capture the spectacular views of Lady Bird Lake and downtown Austin — a bridge between the natural environment and the city. Every detail of each floor plan has been carefully considered and designed to take advantage of the expansive view from each home.
A multitude of gathering spaces comprise over 13,000 square feet of beautiful common areas and amenity spaces, all designed by award-winning architect Michael Hsu Office of Architecture. Outside, “green” exterior walls and massive heritage trees blend seamlessly with the lake, park, and Austin’s downtown.
The lobby is highlighted by the glass atrium which amplifies the neighboring park, water, and urban settings.

The Offering
We think everybody should be able to participate in the growth and prosperity of the cities and neighborhoods they are helping to build.
Compound is the easy way to build a diversified portfolio of beautiful apartments in some of the world's best cities. Compound slices each apartment into 100,000 equity interests so investors can realize the economic benefits of ownership without the hassles and headaches. Receive potential dividends from rental income and build wealth through potential appreciation.
Financial Overview
On January 7th, 2020 we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire unit 2211 for $570,750. We have estimated a total capitalization for the acquisition to be $645,000 which includes closing costs associated with the purchase of the property, offering costs, (for this offering and potentially other equity offerings), fees paid to Republic, and operating and capital reserves. In the event that we have overestimated the total capital required, we intend to distribute any excess capital to investors. The closing of the acquisition is expected to take place in the Fall of 2021.
Following the completion of the purchase and sale, we intend to lease the apartment and operate as a traditional rental unit. Once the property is rented, we intend to make semi-annual dividend payments based on cash available.
* All financial figures are estimates only. These estimates are not based on actual investment results and are not guaranteed of future results.
Returns
We intend to hold the property for a period of 3-5 years after we complete the acquisition. Total return on investment will consist of a combination of current income that will be received during the time we hold this property and capital appreciation that may be realized when we sell the property.
Please refer to the FAQs for more information about return estimates.
