An Austin company has plans for a mixed-use project near Barton Creek Square mall that would be the city's first development to make use of revised environmental rules for redevelopment over the Edwards Aquifer.

Cypress Real Estate Advisors wants to build condominiums and townhomes — plus retail and office space — on the 16-acre property at Walsh Tarlton Lane and Capital of Texas Highway (Loop 360). The site, which was home to a Cinemark theater that closed in 2008, is zoned for commercial use, and the company has filed a request that it be rezoned to allow residential properties.

Plans for the development, tentatively named Tarlton 360 Townhomes, call for 229 condos and townhomes, plus 75,800 square feet of office space and nearly 13,000 square feet of retail space, said John Burnham, vice president of investments for Cypress. The project is in the planning stages, and construction probably wouldn't begin until next year , Burnham said. The project will be designed by Dick Clark Architecture of Austin, Burnham said.
