Austin Developer Converting Junk to Treasure
The Austin City Council approved zoning that will allow the site of a Southeast Austin auto salvage yard to become a vertical mixed-use development with more than 1200 multifamily units and 210,000 square feet of office, as well as a 136,000-square-foot shopping center.
The site at 7900 S. Congress Ave. is currently home to LKQ Pick Your Part, billed as a “one-stop shop for all your used auto parts needs in the Austin, TX area.”
As part of the zoning regulations, Graham Development will be required to set aside 10 percent of the rental units for families earning no more than 80 percent of the current local median family income for period of 99 years.
Graham has also promised to build a 13.5-acre park, which will include an extension of the South Boggy Creek Trail. All the land that surrounds South Boggy Creek will be dedicated to the city as parkland.
