Travis County strikes deal with developers over failed courthouse site

Travis County officials announced a deal Tuesday with a pair of developers who will build on the vacant county-owned block at 308 Guadalupe Street where officials originally hoped to build a new civil courthouse.

The lease with Lincoln Property Company and Phoenix Property Company, which plan to build a mixed-use project on the site, will bring Travis County nearly $430 million in lease payments over the next 99 years. Officials started looking for developers to buy or lease the site last year, after voters in 2015 rejected a bond proposition to build a courthouse on that site.

Travis County will receive an initial $13.4 million payment at closing on Wednesday. That money and the future revenue from the site will help officials pay for a new civil courthouse elsewhere, officials said.
