People may be upset over some businesses disappearing but I don’t expect much pushback from the neighborhood given it’s along two prime corridors. Looks like Lazarus Brewing will stay put. I know Space Cowboy is already anticipating the move and plan to open a new concept along Barton Springs (no robots).

The Borden District

Situated just outside Texas’ capital city, the redevelopment includes the adaptive reuse of Borden Dairy industrial buildings and integrates them into a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood.
The Borden District cultivates its public realm with a pedestrian-oriented street grid, interspersing programs along lot lines to a create a rich neighborhood identity. The project draws on industrial reuse precedents to create community spaces in and around the structures left behind by the iconic dairy brand. Dense retail villages at major access points anchor the district and provide central socializing points for residents and visitors. Mid-rise residential complexes enclose quiet inner courtyards while hospitality programming on the southern edge overlooks the lush riverbanks of the Colorado River.

The development complements its natural environment by incorporating green spaces throughout, tying together urban clusters with small piazzas and linear parks. The 21-acre site abuts the Colorado River Wildlife Sanctuary to the south and opens onto Cesar Chavez St. to the north via multiple access points, drawing visitors in while providing residents with a buffer from the busy thoroughfare. A thick green edge characterizes the development’s southern border with the wildlife sanctuary, unifying the area through a common park space.

I'm pretty sure that's the original vision that has since been significantly scaled back due to a lawsuit from environmentalists. The group suing doesn't like tall buildings, and part of the settlement agreement only allows for 30 foot buildings on the sites closest to the river, not the 8-10-stories shown.

Under what “law” did they get away with this suit?

This is seriously a “legal system” gone way too far in denying property rights.

Endeavor got the zoning approval from the City Council, and probably could have won in court. But they chose to settle with the plaintiffs instead.

From the mouthpiece of the plaintiffs, sounds like there is still good height in the development.

Under the settlement, developments on just two of the tract’s nine parcels can rise to 120 feet, while the parcels closest to the wildlife sanctuary are capped at 90 feet. The deal requires Endeavor to plant at least 50 native-plant species in the 75-foot buffer separating its development from the sanctuary.

There’s two buildings that appear to cap out at 120’ and the others around 90’ so the renderings above may indeed be current. It was recently posted on the architects website.

The two parcels on Cesar Chazez can go 120'. The parcels close to the river can go 30'. There are no 30' buildings in this rendering, so it is not current. KPF also shows the office version of the One Ladybird Lake project on their site. Architects don't always show the latest renderings.

I think it's really a shame that, for whatever reason, the HACA redevelopments aren't much, much higher - and more unique.

One of the clearest and highest priorities for the City has to get more housing and especially more affordable housing. As a municipal entity, the City can take on a level of risk that no other entity can, and they should really be leveraging that to make these complexes mixed-income + market rate and push the limit for density and height. Especially for the complexes near the downtown core, I think we'll be in a similar position at the end-of-life of these buildings as we were when looking at redevelopment a few years ago saying: "Why didn't we build this more densely?"

Similarly, we should be elevating local architects and builders who are interested in providing interesting and unique designs and materials (of course, within reason and cost) to make these buildings stand out as cultural icons throughout time.

Groundbreaking for The Works III: Supportive Housing for Youth Exiting Foster Care

'Shovel-ready:' Austin ISD nears groundbreaking on affordable apartment community

Austin ISD is one step closer to building affordable housing for its staff and community members in East Austin.

At an Oct. 7 meeting, the AISD Public Facility Corporation, or PFC, approved construction of the first of two income-restricted apartment buildings near East Seventh Street and Airport Boulevard. Developers are expected to break ground on the 341-unit East apartment building in December for a projected completion date of 2028, said Nick Walsh, vice president of development for The NRP Group.

"We are shovel-ready," Walsh said. "We are about one and a half months out from putting our shovels in the ground on the first phase.

AISD will build a 675-unit affordable housing community and a new Alternative Learning Center at an 18-acre site in East Austin. The property houses the district’s Anita Ferrales Coy Facility, where the current Alternative Learning Center, a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program, is located.

At the new multifamily development, about half of the units will be income-restricted at 60% or 80% of the area median income, or AMI. The developer will give priority to leasing units to AISD teachers and staff when they become available in 2028, according to district information.

The NRP Group is expected to seek the district’s approval to develop the West apartment building in four to six months, he said.
