1601 E Cesar Chavez St, Unit 104
Description
Step into a rare live/work storefront with serious business potential—unit #104 at the Waterstreet Lofts presents a turnkey opportunity for a creative, service or tech-driven enterprise to root itself in the vibrant heart of East Austin. Positioned on the corner of Cesar Chavez and Comal, this two-level loft offers an open-plan first floor with floor-to-ceiling glass frontage and signage. Ideal for a brand-worthy showroom, design studio, boutique office or hospitality-adjacent venture. Upstairs, soaring 15-ft ceilings and an expansive loft area deliver flexible workspace or private executive functions—while a discreet residential entrance allows founder-occupancy or executive suite without compromising the main commercial footprint. With two dedicated garage parking spaces, controlled access, and central Austin proximity just minutes from downtown and Lady Bird Lake, this is a strategic commercial base in a neighborhood alive with restaurants, galleries, coffee houses and foot traffic. This is a place to build your business!
