From the Austin Business Journal:
Grand Brodie Oaks redevelopment requires extra attention from Austin City Hall
Quote:
A rezoning request that would clear the way for a pavement-covered South Austin shopping center to be transformed into a mixed-use urban node remains on the table at Austin City Hall.
[. . .]
But the delay is not expected to hamper the overall project. In fact, it's seen as essential to get the planned unit development zoning correct: The deferment will provide adequate time to formally draft a written agreement with the developer and the city, both sides said.
"Everything that we have presented and been discussing with the City and other stakeholders over the last 2-plus years needs to be reduced in writing into the actual zoning ordinance for the Brodie Oaks Redevelopment PUD," Milo Burdette, partner and vice president of development at Barshop & Oles, said in an email to Austin Business Journal following the postponement. "It will be a challenge to capture everything within a single zoning ordinance. We have received a draft from the City and felt like additional time was needed to review it thoroughly and provide any feedback we felt would make it a thorough and accurate reflection of our proposal. The postponement will provide sufficient time in which to complete that review.”

From the American-Statesman Jan 13:
Billion-dollar remake of Brodie Oaks retail center site moves closer to reality
Quote:
proposed number of hotel rooms has been reduced from 448 to to 200, while the number of planned residential units has increased from 1,564 to 1,700.
The plans call for 1.2 million square feet of office space and 140,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
The project, which is being called Brodie for now, is anticipated to be built in phases.
If all goes as planned, design for the first phase could begin this year and construction could start in 2025.
Tentative plans call for the initial phase to be just over 1 million square feet. It would consist of two multifamily projects and an office building surrounding a central park, with restaurants and retail occupying the ground floor spaces in the buildings.
The project's residential units are expected to mainly be apartments, but could include a mix of other types of housing in the future. The first units could open as early as 2027. The developer has not provided estimated rents for the units.
Barshop & Oles executives say they plan to include about 200 housing units priced below market rates, representing about 12% of the total units in the project. About 100 to 130 of those units would be built in a stand-alone building where the existing Olive Garden restaurant is located.
This separate project will be owned and built by Foundation Communities, a nonprofit housing developer.

So it looks the Foundation Communities project will be in that building that appears to have the garage portion that is open to Lamar Blvd that some have mentioned that they don't like, with the housing units wrapping the other three sides.
Where Sprouts, Floor King, Relax Day Spa and Starbucks are now would be where the small "Neighborhood Park" will be with some of the buildings (including mine) at The Retreat at Barton Creek apartments on the west side of the neighborhood park.
Quote:
The maximum height of 275 feet would be at the intersection of Loop 360 and South Lamar, which potentially could house a 24-story building with a hotel and residences with an attached garage.
The next two blocks on either side could house buildings of about 14 stories, possibly for office space on top of five-story residential garages.
Elsewhere within the project, plans call for residential buildings of up to 13 stories with five-story parking garages.

The
Barshop & Oles Brodie Oaks Redevelopment site also mentions grocery. I'm thinking it would be something the size of the current Sprouts (although I'd prefer a Trader Joe's to be honest.)
