AUSTIN | Projects & Construction III

[JoninATX]

Mueller Town Center has an official name now called " Aldrich Street".

The Town Center has been officially named – Aldrich Street. It’s not a name we hear much around Mueller Austin just yet, since the street is only a block long at this point, but looks like that is all going to change as the construction of the Town Center marches on.

As evidenced by the name that has been given to the Town Center, Aldrich Street will be the main drag. Think wide sidewalks, a la 2nd Street District & South Congress, lined with trees offering shade (eventually) and space to gather.

The corner of Aldrich & Robert Browning will be the hub of activity, anchored by a Hotel & Cinema (at least that’s the vision!), which will essentially be lifted off of street level and house retail underneath to continue supporting the notion of walkability & energy that can be interrupted by long stretches of building offering no activity or eye candy.

The street will be lined with restaurants and stores and will connect to Lake Park via a Paseo, that will be lifted as it crosses Simond Avenue, to create a clear pedestrian crossway and enhance connectivity between the Town Center and Lake Park.
