Block 4 Residential Development
Summary
The Austin City Council has identified housing as a priority for downtown development. They have directed City staff to study the feasibility of a public-private partnership with AMLI Residential Properties Trust, for residential mixed-use development at the Block 4 site owned by the City and Third & Colorado, L.L.C.'s Block 20 (see map).
Status
If the City is successful at negotiating an agreement with Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), the residential project planned for Block 4 would be relocated to Block 22. Preliminary redesign work is being done for this new location.
Description
Third & Colorado, L.L.C. has been in the process of developing a residential mixed-use project on Block 20 downtown. They were approached by the City about the feasibility of doubling the size of the project by including the City-owned Block 4 directly to the south.
On November 6, 1997 the City Council approved a resolution directing the City Manager to develop a letter of intent outlining a public-private joint venture for redeveloping the City's Block 4 and the privately held Block 20 into a mixed-use residential project.
