Published on June 12, 2024

Leading luxury hospitality company, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, and Austin Capital Partners announced that Turnbridge Equities, a vertically integrated investment and development firm with over $4 billion in assets under management, led by founder and managing principal Andrew Joblon, has become the co-development partner of Four Seasons Private Residences Lake Austin. The transaction was arranged by Doug Opalka of JLL and Jason Parker of Cobalt Equities. Turnbridge's substantial investment allows the project to start construction as planned this fall, with an expected opening at the end of 2027.

The new Lake Austin residential community will be distinguished by its unprecedented views, modern architecture, and Lissoni-designed interiors, private waterfront access, and approximately 100,000 square feet of private amenities. Michelin-starred chef-led dining and a dedicated Four Seasons staff will exclusively manage every aspect of the property's luxury service offering. Surrounded by 2,000 acres of protected land, Four Seasons Private Residences Lake Austin comprises 145 acres of pristine natural landscape and 3,070 linear feet of untouched waterfront. The private enclave is 20 minutes from downtown Austin but feels worlds apart, offering protected panoramic views of the lake, Pennybacker Bridge, PGA golf course, and downtown skyline.

Turnbridge Equities has a reputation for executing first-class developments and has deep ties to the local area. Turnbridge partnered with MSD Capital to develop Austin's acclaimed Music Lane project on South Congress Avenue, featuring first-to-market concepts including Soho House, Equinox, Hermes, and other high-end retailers.

"We look forward to working with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and our globally-renowned design team in helping realize this amazing vision," said Andrew Joblon, founder and managing principal of Turnbridge Equities. "We are diligently working to commence construction this fall."

"We're excited to come together with a highly-aligned partner in Andrew Joblon and Turnbridge Equities to build this one-of-a-kind community that is unique in both location and the experiences it will provide residents," said Jonathan Coon, CEO of Austin Capital Partners. "Turnbridge was one of the first developers to recognize that Austin was ready for world-class real estate development nearly a decade ago. We look forward to working together to create a best-in-class community."

Setting a New Standard in the Global Residential Market

Coupled with legendary five-star service, owners and their guests will enjoy an extensive collection of amenities and experiences with timeless interiors by Lissoni. Each of the property's four distinct resort clubs will feature furniture designed by the brand, including bespoke pieces. Purposefully designed to feel private despite their scale, shared spaces by Lissoni will include:

The Upper Clubhouse: Featuring a Michelin-starred chef-led private restaurant, a 96-seat theater with a 60-foot-wide LED screen, and a 300-foot infinity-edge pool with three lounging and swimming zones, as well as an adjacent game room and private cabanas.

Spa and Wellness Club: Featuring hot and cold plunge pools, private treatment rooms, sauna, and steam facilities in both locker rooms, and a beauty salon.

Orangerie: An indoor garden with an 82-foot indoor pool.

Other unique amenities for Lake Austin and Four Seasons standalone residences will include:
