General contractor Russell Becker with Beck-Reit and Sons and designer Chris Krager of KRDB are building a new residential subdivision on Perry Road that will set the 'high-water mark for a green and sustainable project,' a City of Austin housing official says. Of the 38 homes planned – all designed with features to produce as much energy as they use – 16 will be made available to lower-income buyers and renters.
