City Council approved the rezoning of the Broadmoor parcel late last night. This clears the way for buildings up to 360 feet tall.

Broadmoor rezoning clears way for new mega-development next to Domain; Site pitched to Amazon for HQ2

The fate of Broadmoor is a little clearer now. But only a little.
Owner Brandywine Realty Trust now has a green light from Austin to proceed with its plan to massively redevelop the 66-acre parcel just east of The Domain, which is home to a major IBM Corp. campus and has been floated as a potential HQ2 site for Amazon.
Austin City Council on Thursday night gave final approval to rezone the area for higher-density construction. Brandywine, which brought the Broadmoor tract from IBM in 2015, said Thursday it intends to push ahead with its plans for a "mixed-use, transit-oriented and highly-amenitized urban environment."
The site is across the street from The Domain — known as Austin's second downtown — and is down the street from land that may host a Major League Soccer stadium.
