11th & 12th Streets Community Redevelopment Project

Summary

The redevelopment plan contains projects and programs that seek to restore a thriving mix of uses and activities along the East 11th and 12th Streets corridors. East 11th Street is envisioned as a visitor-oriented destination consisting of 3-5 story buildings that provide entertainment, music and office uses that will attract users from the Austin metropolitan area as well as local residents. The East 12th Street Corridor is envisioned as a mixed use area with a variety of small-scale, live-work environments with combined office, retail and residential uses which serve the immediate area.

Status

The Austin Revitalization Authority has selected RIATA Development to help develop 65,000 sq. ft. of office/retail space and 24 loft apartments on E. 11th between Curve and Lydia Streets. RIATA also proposes to build 30 town homes along Juniper Street with 184 parking spaces. Completion for this initial phase of development is projected to be fall of 2001. In addition ARA has attracted a tenant to occupy 1101 East 11th Street. Groundbreaking for this project was held on September 15, 2000. Restoration has begun and is scheduled for completion for, Spring 2001. Balcones Recycling administrative offices will occupy the entire building.

A draft of the study has been submitted to the City for review and comment.
