This is filler and a bit of height on the east side - not much else, but it's going to add to the overall density of the area, for sure. I like that aspect of it.

Love to see more action on Airport. That corridor has some insane potential with how much housing has gone up there in the last decade.

The Hatchery Phase II

Quote:

EMBREY has closed on financing for construction of a 344-unit multifamily community in a dynamic mixed-used neighborhood called The Hatchery on the shores of Lady Bird Lake just east of downtown Austin, Texas.

The EMBREY community – architecturally designed by Lake Flato and GFF Architects – is part of a master-planned development that features a walkable neighborhood with retail, multifamily and senior housing and easy access to the highly desirable employment and recreational activities in and around downtown Austin.

Studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom residential units will be available. The first units are expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2027 with full project completion scheduled in the second quarter of 2028. Lender for the project is Texas-based Frost Bank.

Wish we would get taller buildings on the East Side. Pretty tired of all these unimaginative 4-5 story residentials.

Preach!! Especially along our major corridors with great bus service, where we could reasonably get 7 stories which would support that service AND the local nearby businesses. lots of opportunities along Manor, 7th, Airport, etc.

Also, the west side should get the same treatment - no reason to punish them with restrictive zoning and encourage a dead neighborhood with few amenities because there isn't enough space or enough people to support new and existing businesses!

Environmental Commission approves heritage tree removal for East Austin housing project

Quote:

The Environmental Commission voted to approve the removal of a 32-inch heritage pecan tree in East Austin to allow construction of a 120-unit supportive housing project for youth exiting foster care and the juvenile justice system.

“This is the exact kind of project I wish we saw all the time on this commission because it’s an incredible project for a great group,” said Vice Chair Mariana Krueger. “At the same time, I think about the urban canopy on the east side in particular and the heat island effect.”

LifeWorks, an organization supporting families experiencing homelessness, secured a one-acre site at 819 Tillery Street through a donated long-term lease that converts to ownership that allows them to reduce costs for a supportive housing project that will be built on a 13-acre lot. The proposed project, called The Works III, is a 120-unit, four-story permanent supportive housing project designed with trauma-informed architecture and onsite social services for youth exiting foster care or the juvenile justice system. It will be fully owned and operated by LifeWorks.

That's assuming that this isn't ROW for utilities or something.
