What does it actually take to build community in a city as big and fast-changing as Austin?
In this episode of Austin Eras, Adam Flagg sits down with Chloe Chiang at Château Chloé, the East Austin home she designed not just as a place to live, but as a place to bring people together.
Chloe came to Austin for UT, built a successful real estate career through relentless relationship-building, and eventually expanded that work into something much bigger. Through Château Chloé and No Bad Company, she has created a world centered on hospitality, intentional gatherings, community, and the belief that life is better in good company.
Adam and Chloe talk about building a circle of champions, creating spaces where people feel comfortable enough to be themselves, and why she describes her role as “curating serendipity.” They also explore her journey from Division I gymnastics to real estate, why she still believes deeply in Austin, and how repeated interactions can turn strangers into real friends.ferent perspective: the city is still being built, and many of the best opportunities may be hiding in plain sight.
At its core, this episode is about how we intentionally build the life and community we want around us — and why Austin’s magic may depend on people continuing to create those spaces for one another.
