Now framing.
Already set up.

Three new homes now framing in Zilker — reserve before completion, and move into a home where everything just works: a full Samsung appliance suite run from one app, gigabit fiber, EV charging, keyless entry.

Most builders go quiet between permit and keys. We do the opposite.

A few homes a year, each made to fit its street — heritage trees kept, scale respected, modern where it counts. We build for people who work in tech and live for the city: mornings at the park, dinner a short walk away, groceries and gyms minutes out — and a home smart enough to keep up, from the oven to the cameras. You watch every one come together, and hear before it hits the open market.

We develop and invest; contractors like Talem Homes construct. One accountable team — and we keep that in the open, like everything else.

The homes

Where every project stands.

No vague "coming soon." Each project shows its real phase, updated as it moves.

One app for the whole house.

Every appliance is Samsung — fridge, range, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer — all run from the SmartThings app. Preheat the oven on the drive home, get a ping when the laundry’s done, check the fridge from the office.

The approach

The name is the promise: honesty united with ethics.

The status board on this page is the same one we keep internally — no brochure gloss, just where each home actually is. And we build for how Austin actually lives: morning light where you work, a garden off the living room, and a rooftop for the hour the sky turns.

In the open
Real phase, real dates

Watch your future home go up week by week — the stage you see here is the one our crew sees.

For the block
Made to fit its street

Walkable infill that keeps the mature trees and the feel of the block — so it belongs on day one, and so do you.

First in line
Before the open market

Follow a home and be first through the door — a private tour the week it's finished, before it ever lists.

With care
Built like it's ours

Materials picked by hand from a global supply chain, details checked twice, every finish walked before handover — the same care we put into the homes we keep.

The founders

William and Ella Fang founded Honics Development to do one thing well: take aging homes on central Austin’s most sought-after blocks — Zilker, East Cesar Chavez, Old Enfield & Tarrytown — and rebuild them as modern, thoughtfully designed infill under Austin’s HOME initiative, for the young buyers and remote professionals who want to live here.

They bring 30+ years leading and operating technology companies and 10+ years managing their own real-estate portfolio — an operator’s discipline applied to every schedule, budget and inspection. Since 2025, Honics has acquired and is developing multiple projects across 78703, 78704 and 78702, built with established local construction and design partners and an international supply chain for high-quality materials.

And they build like it’s the AI era, because it is: technology across design, procurement and the build itself cuts cost without cutting corners — a new generation of homebuilding where the savings go into craft, and where buyers don’t just pick a finish package but co-design their home’s materials and colors with us while it’s being built.

Your next Saturday could start on Collier St.

Barton Springs before it gets busy, tacos on South First, sunset from your own rooftop. Buy, or reserve a 3-year-plus lease before completion — both are open now. Pick the neighborhoods you see yourself in and we'll send build updates plus an early heads-up before each home is ready.
