1800 East MLK Blvd

Awesome location in Austin's MLK transit corridor with easy access to downtown and UT. With the City of Austin's new zoning ordinances, this site will support a building height of up to 60' and a total of approximately 20,000 SF of rentable square footage with existing zoning of LO-VMU-NP. Consider retail/restaurant space on the first floor and residential on the upper 4 floors. Utilizing Austin's Affordability Unlock requires only 10% of the unit count to be in the Affordable category. Total residential space could be as high as 17,000 SF, with up to 24 or more units. Ideal configurations would be studios, and 1 and 2 bedroom units given the area demographics. The first-floor area could 3,000 SF or more of retail/restaurant space. No onsite parking is required except for ADA. Consider rezoning to GR (Community Commercial) for even more possibilities. No significant tree issues, flat lot, easy build. South end of lot has views to downtown, especially from upper floor(s).
