Site was previously one of the first Urban Farms in East Austin and the birthplace of Farmhouse Delivery. This well-loved community treasure was known for its many events including Shakespeare on the Farm, gumbo cook-offs, and many weddings. The bucolic setting, trees, and fantastic sunsets make this an urban oasis. The site was rezoned to Commercial Mixed-Use LR-MU + Single Family-6 (allowing townhomes & duplexes). The site provides a developer the opportunity to integrate nature and vertical development in a unique and vibrant pocket of East Austin.
Potential development yield is enhanced beyond the preliminary conceptual site plan due to the removal of parking requirements, and new City of Austin ordinances for affordability that allow for 90 feet of height along the commercially zoned frontage of Shady Lane beyond the current 40-foot limitation. Subdivision would be required if the Buyer elects not to purchase Tract 1 accessed from Milburn and Mansell. NRP is planning 600+ workforce units next door to the property with a school. Ample opportunity for affordability bonuses and commercial service/retail potential for area developments. Tremendous flexibility and opportunity in 78702 for the creative developer, while taking advantage of the Qualified Opportunity Zone program. Potential uses under LR zoning include: Art Gallery, Retail, Restaurant, Office, Medical, and Mixed-Use Residential Condominiums.
