Austin’s Brodie Redevelopment to Add Housing, Office

Similar name, new concept. The 365,000-square-foot Brodie Oaks Shopping Center, which debuted in Austin in 1982, will likely be replaced with multiple structures of varying heights and vast open space spanning the site’s 38 acres. The new project will just be called Brodie.

Lionstone Investments and Barshop & Oles Co. will co-develop the new project, which is expected to become a 3.1 million-square-foot mixed-use destination.

At full build-out, the mixed-use property will feature more than 1.2 million square feet of office space; 1,700 multifamily units, including affordable housing, spanning a total of 1.5 million square feet; 140,000 square feet of retail and dining offerings and a 200-key hotel that will total 200,000 square feet. If all goes as expected, the project costs will exceed $1.5 billion.

The City is expected to approve the plan. Once okayed the partners will finalize the Brodie design in 2023. Delivery of the project’s initial phase is expected in 2027.
