Situated at 2323 South Lamar Blvd., The Code is a new Zilker-area hotel offering something rare in Austin's hospitality scene: the chance to actually own your suite. A collaboration between Austin-based real estate developer Pearlstone Partners and short-term rental company AvantStay, The Code combines the strengths of both brands in a five-story property featuring 178 units, a resort-style pool, a rooftop terrace, a 24-hour concierge, and a suite of upscale amenities. Locals may recall construction going on at the intersection of South Lamar and Bluebonnet Lane since 2022, according to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation records. Per a news release, guests can choose from three options when booking a stay at The Code: short-term rentals, long-term rentals, and full ownership.
Sales contracts open on Monday, November 3, with guest bookings opening up in December.

Buyers can take advantage of AvantStay's professional management program if they so choose to utilize the service to keep their suite up-to-date and maintained while they're away from the property.
