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 the privately held Block 20 (see map).
Status
AMLI has conducted environmental, geotechnical, and market studies, and is continuing to develop and refine site plans and building designs.
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 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.
