AUSTIN | Block 87 | FT | FLOORS
Project: Block 87
*Preliminary rendering
Quote:
Episcopal Church leaders are seeking a developer to partner with them on a mixed-use project on a prime downtown Austin block.
The New York-based Episcopal Church organization owns the site, known as Block 87, which it uses as a revenue-generating parking lot. As one of the last undeveloped city blocks downtown, church officials said it provides “a historic opportunity for development.” The block is bounded by East Seventh, East Eighth, Neches and Trinity streets.
By next year, church officials say, they hope to select a developer to team with on a project on the site, which has the potential for more than 600,000 square feet of development. Church officials envision a building with office, residential, and retail uses, along with a permanent home for the church’s archives.
