AUSTIN – Transwestern Development Co. is developing a 450,000-square-foot mixed-use project on East Sixth Street in Austin.
The project will have 94,500 square feet of office space, 346 apartment units and 9,600 square feet of retail space.
Transwestern Development Co. and its partners have broken ground on the two-building project situated on a 4.2-acre site at the intersection of E. 6th Street and Comal Avenue, which is east of Interstate 35.
The first building is a 94,500-square-foot office building, which is scheduled for completion in January 2016. The second building, called The Arnold, is slated for delivery in July 2016 and consists of 346 apartment units with 9,600 square feet of specialty retail at three key intersections of the property. Transwestern Development Co. Associate Vice President Josh Delk is leading the development team.
