That demo looks like 2500 W. Braker, not 2545 Brockton. I just posted a couple photos of the 2545 Brockton demo on my X.

EDIT: That is the backside of the 2545 Brockton site which would be why the taller buildings in the view line up similar to a 2500 W. Braker view.

Future phases of Uptown ATX placed on the back burner.

Brandywine filed a new site plan for the 66 acre UptownATX site about a month ago. There are not many details yet, but it's related to infrastructure changes based on the minimum info. Rehabbing the three IBM office buildings instead of replacing them with more significant mixed use buildings is disappointing, but not unexpected in the current market. At least the Red Line station is finally moving forward.

Buildings 902, 904 and 906 at the northern end of Uptown ATX will be renovated, totaling around 500,000 square feet, Sweeney previously said, and work on one of them will begin this year.
Sweeney did not specify which of the three buildings — all built in 1990, according to Travis Central Appraisal District — will be renovated first, but did state that it was vacant.
Of the three buildings that share an address of 11501 Burnet Road — they range from about 147,000 to 149,000 square feet, according to TCAD — building 902 is the only one Brandywine lists as having all of its office space available on its website, indicating that will be the first building to be renovated."

^ This doesn't seem surprising - especially in this market, as you said. I'd be curious to see if there is at least any effort to develop any other surface parking lots at some point, even if after renovating the existing structures.

Avalon Bay Communities has broken ground on Avalon Northwest Hills, a 252-unit multifamily project in Central Austin, Texas.

This is the company’s second ground-up construction project in the city. First move-ins at Avalon Northwest Hills are scheduled for late 2027.

The podium-style property will rise between Texas State Highway Loop 1 and Loop 360 in the Northwest Hills suburban neighborhood of the city. The area is one of Austin’s most supply-constrained submarkets, with only one other groundbreaking this past decade.

The multifamily development will rise between the city’s downtown area and The Domain, allowing easy access to multiple employment centers entertainment hubs and retail options.

Amenities at Avalon Northwest Hills will include a fitness center, pool deck, resident lounge with coworking spaces and a rooftop with additional indoor and outdoor amenities.

AvalonBay Communities’ multifamily footprint in Austin spans 1,527 units across five properties, according to Yardi Matrix. Three of these properties are completed, while two other developments are currently underway. Avalon Tech Ridge, another project in the city, is expected to finish construction early next year.

Northwest Hills used to be a suburban neighborhood.

Uh, but yet it defined as central Austin these days.

Interesting writing on that website.

Any idea what the exact location of this is? Northwest Hills extends as far north as Jollyville Road, so perhaps in that vicinity, or Far West Blvd.

Gotcha, thanks. With the higher elevation of that property the building will really stand out.

There is apparently a cave that runs under that site from posts to my X. I believe this project will have one underground parking level, so I'm wondering how that will interact with the cave system.

Portman Underway on 2545 Brockton in Austin, Texas

National developer Portman today announced it is underway on 2545 Brockton, a luxury, 429-unit multifamily community in North Austin, Texas. The project, which will be developed in partnership with Austin-based Generational Commercial Properties, marks Portman’s first mixed-use and residential project in the market. Site work has already begun and Portman expects to deliver the project by March 2028.

Bat Cave?


It will be interesting to see what projects pop up in the areas around 183/Mopac in the coming years with the ongoing expansion of the Domain area and the upcoming redevelopment of the northwest corner of that intersection.

I'd like to see an overhaul of Aboretum Crossing (where Dave & Busters remains) expand out Gateway Shopping Center and up Stone Lake Blvd (from 183 N Frontage up to Braker) to Pickle West/possible MD Anderson campus). With the exception of Whole Foods, most of those parking lots sit pretty empty any given day.

I believe there is activity happening around the Dave & Busters location. That is what drove my comment on more density in the area.
