The City of Austin issued a new-construction permit on Nov. 6, 2026 for 28 apartments at 6525 Ed Bluestein Blvd in the 78724 ZIP code, with Blackburn Construction, Inc. as contractor.

Why it matters

The permit, number 2023-091676 BP, is filed under class C-105, five or more family buildings, and covers new construction of four multifamily buildings and one detached garage (buildings 13, 14, 15, 16 and the garage). Subcontractors and suppliers working northeast Austin infill can now plan against a permitted start.

The record does not name an owner or developer, so we do not attribute the project to one. Readers tracking the site can look up Travis Central Appraisal District property ID 0221280801.

The numbers

  • 28 units across three floors.
  • 31,381 sq ft of building area.
  • $3.5M declared job valuation. That is the applicant’s stated cost of work, not a sale price or a loan amount.
  • Issued Nov. 6, 2026.
  • City Council District 1, per the permit record, with Blackburn Construction, Inc. listed as both applicant and contractor.
  • The permit record repeats the $3.5M on sibling permits for the same project, so we do not divide it per unit.

What’s next

The permit description references building numbers 13 through 16 and a garage labelled G3, which suggests the 28 units are one phase of a larger site. The record does not say how many buildings exist in total. A permit is not a delivery date, and the record gives no construction schedule or rent plan. Inspections and any sibling permits on the parcel will show progress. Neighbors and trade partners should treat the permit as the first public step only. More filings are tracked on the Austin market hub.
