seaholm development project
Seaholm offers a place to live, work, play, shop, eat and sleep on the shore of Lady Bird Lake, connected with a major intermodal transportation network and designed around a historic art-deco structure. The development will be the anchor of a new Seaholm District, forming the southwest quadrant of downtown. It will revitalize the area and serve as an economic catalyst for re-developing Austin-owned land at the Green Water Treatment plant site, as well as the two Austin Energy tracts that are adjacent to the property.

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
  • • Complete the downtown street grid consistent with the master plan
  • • Lady Bird Lake, at your front door
