Austin ISD officials spent the evening of Feb. 13 virtually talking with concerned AISD residents and staff members about proposed affordable housing the district is seeking to build at the Anita Ferrales Coy site, located at 4900 Gonzales St., Austin.
The Geyser Group just closed on this property in August and plans to build roughly 250 units of mixed income multifamily development in East Austin. The complex will be minutes from Springdale Green, East 6th Street, Downtown Austin, Muller Business District, Austin-Bergstrom Airport, The University of Texas, and Tesla’s Gigafactory. Construction is set to begin in Q1 2024.
Eight stories is very good for that area. Even though it might actually be seven. Either way, a good amount of units, and a massive improvement over the current asphalt crater.

it'd be nice if they required these developments to bury the power lines adjacent to the property
Agreed but understand that all these fees add up and reduce the amount of units that can be designated as affordable which then fuels NIMBY protests of "not enough affordable units".
Definitely not as flashy but this infill project near got up-zoned from sf-3 and should add 62 condo units where there would've been otherwise 18 single family lots aka, 36 units.
I wonder when they will be demolishing the adjacent lot. The designs show a fancy wooded area with event spaces, but the spot currently hosts some sort of car dealership.
I don't think the car dealership is a part of this development. You can see it on the bottom left of the map from their website. I'm sure it will just be a matter of time before it is redeveloped one way or another.

Description:
28500 sf parcel. Currently in entitlements for a 7-story multi-family apartment building with approximately 110 units.
1200 Springdale will be a 348-unit mixed-income, mixed-use apartment community situated on 2.25 acres of land at the corner of 12th Street and Springdale Road in Austin. The building will be configured as three stories of structured parking (405 total stalls) under five stories of residential space, with 21,000 SF of ground-floor retail space and full amenities. The project will participate in Austin’s Affordability Unlocked development bonus, which requires 50% of all units to be affordable to families earning an average of no more than 60% of Travis County MFI, including 20% of all units, which will be reserved for families earning no more than 50% of Travis County MFI.
Yay but also this looks like it's going to end up with Palamino coffee getting the boot Love going there on the weekend. Hopefully the retail space is something nice like that but… bummer.
The lane closure at Springdale/Airport intersection has been going on for several months now and it is phenomenally disruptive. Not sure what they were thinking.
