City Of The Violet Crown

Austin's entrepreneurial spirit, unique creative vibe and superior quality of life transformed the sleepy college town of two-hundred thousand into a metropolis of almost two million, attracting out-of-state real estate investors and developers, including the largest mall developer in America.

Circling the behemoth mall developer like vultures are Austin's high-powered commercial real estate brokers and developers, positioning themselves to profit on the largest remaining tract of land in Central Austin.

City of the Violet Crown reveals the insatiable appetites and greed of the good ole boys of commercial real estate, who stop at nothing to get what they want. And they want it all, including your hard-earned tax dollars.
