City Council approved the 500 South Congress PUD, or planned unit development, Sept. 11. Related Cos.' redevelopment of Ego's bar and surrounding apartment and office buildings on a 6.5-acre site will include:
950 residences, with 800 apartments and 150 condominiums
A 225-room hotel
600,000 square feet of office space
135,000 square feet of commercial space for retail, a restaurant and grocery store.
The site's tallest tower may reach up to 650 feet tall, while the rest of the property can build up to 500 feet.
Related's Texas President Mike Iannacone recently said the 500 South Congress PUD could be the new heart of the South Central Waterfront, which said is becoming a "mixed-use city of the future."
