Austin to perform preconstruction on mixed-use project in Austin, Texas

Austin Commercial has been chosen to perform the yearlong preconstruction for the $120 million Austin City Centre, a new mixed-use development for Legend Communities in Austin, Texas. This gives Austin the opportunity to build the project when it begins next year.

Austin City Centre will consist of two 16-story apartment towers, retail space and underground parking. Located at the northeast corner of IH-35 and 12th Street, the project is close to the city’s new UT Medical School campus.

“Our team worked hard to earn this preconstruction project,” said Jack Archer, regional project manager. “I especially want to thank Kurt Cleveland (preconstruction manager) and Jeff Hagar (area project manager) for their expertise and tireless efforts that led to our being awarded the preconstruction, which now puts us in line to build the mixeduse complex.”

The project architect is Rhode Partners.

AUSTIN | Huston Heights | 2 BLDGS | 16 FLOORS

This project is worthy of note because it will be located east of I-35 directly across from downtown. These will be the two tallest buildings east of I-35 in Austin. They're also planning a 70,000 square foot grocery store. Oddly enough, the site is now occupied by a shopping center that once housed a grocery store about 30 years ago.

The site is approved for heights up to 150 feet without any further permits, but they're asking for a variance up to 200 feet.

Soil testing was spotted being conducted today also.

The applicant is requesting to amend the zoning CS-NCCD-NP & CS-1-NCCD-NP.

A pdf file for an upcoming meeting regarding this project reveals larger renders and additional information. The height for both buildings is 185 feet; consisting of 15 floors.

The project also has a new name, One Two East.

Anything would be better than an abandoned Safeway being used as a bingo parlor. This city needs to grow up.

This one is back as one high-rise and 15' ft shorter.

This is my favorite project in the city. I don't talk about it much, but I think it'll be one of the more impressive towers going up right now. The floorplates are the size of city blocks, and it'll be the tallest thing East of I-35 for several years to come.

Currently it looks like they're pouring a floor a week. It's pretty much the same height as the neighboring Eleven right now. This should top out in early Fall.
