Project
Imagine a place to live, work, play, shop, eat and sleep. Then imagine that special place on the shore of Lady Bird Lake, connected with a major intermodal transportation network and designed around a historic art-deco structure. This vision will become a reality with the transformation of the former Seaholm Power Plant site.
This re-development fulfills the vision of the Seaholm District Master Plan and accomplishes several major City Council goals:
• Rehabilitate the historic Seaholm building
• Create a vibrant mixed-use development that anchors downtown
• Plan for multi-modal transportation including pedestrian, bicycle and rail
• Create a return on public investment in the form of new tax base from the project
• Complete the downtown street grid consistent with the master plan
Once complete, the 7.8-acre site will feature a mix of office space, local retail shops, restaurants, contemporary condos, Traders Joe's (your neighborhood grocery store) and an outdoor terrace that overlooks Town Lake. Such a transformation is also expected to create more than 200 jobs and produce $2 million a year in tax revenue.
The Seaholm Redevelopment Team aims to cater to downtown Austin's thriving cultural and business needs while paying homage to the site's unique history. This urban oasis nestled in the Southwest quadrant of downtown is mere blocks away from:
• Austin Music Hall & Austin City Limits Studio
• Working & entertaining activities in Austin's West End
• Whole Foods' flagship store & headquarters
• Royal Blue Grocery offers a quick and convenient option
• A myriad of retail & restaurants surround the Seaholm site
• Lady Bird Lake, at your front door
• Hiking trails, a dog park and rowing options
• Transportation options to & from the site
• Cesar Chavez quickly leads to I-35 & MoPac
• A future commuter rail line will get you to & from neighboring communities in Austin
• An on-site bike station will be available
