Pfluger Architects and developer SHIR Capital completed a hotel-to-apartment transformation in Austin. Veer Apartments, a former Quality Inn located at 7928 Gessner Drive, is now a renovated five-story building offering studio apartments in two floorplan choices.

Veer Apartments features more than 89,000 square feet of living space and amenities in 174 pet-friendly units, all outfitted with modern floorplans. Pfluger’s Erik Leitner added, “The hotel floor plate is not much different from that of a studio or one-bedroom apartment, so the conversion and redesign is less expensive and time-restrictive than other adaptive reuse projects.”

Veer offers resident amenities including an outdoor pool and BBQ grills, a 24-hour fitness center and a pet spa.

Development partners include Austin Outdoor Design as design architect and Avas Construction as general contractor.
