Austin's Mixed-Use Projects Hit Major Milestones With Construction Launches

A series of mixed-use projects in Austin reached new stages by June 29, 2026, with several gaining approvals and others moving into active construction phases. GroundBreak Real Estate News compiled the updates, covering locations from central corridors to northeast neighborhoods.

The I-35 Capital Express project, led by TxDOT and officially named MyMobility35, is underway along the I-35 Corridor in Central Austin. This effort focuses on infrastructure improvements and mixed-use elements in the area.

Projects Under Active Construction

Anita Coy Apartments, a 675-unit mixed-use development by The NRP Group, is under construction at 4900 Gonzales St. The site includes plans for 1,080 parking spaces along with a pool, fitness center and co-working space. In northeast Austin, Colony Park Sustainable Community, a 3,000-unit mixed-use project developed by Catellus/Banbury Development, is rising on Loyola Lane between Johnny Morris Road and Decker Lane.

Another listing notes the same Colony Park project advancing at the same northeast Austin location, confirming ongoing work by the same development group. These construction starts reflect coordinated activity across separate sites on the same reporting date.

North Burnet/Gateway RSMU Rezoning by Brandywine Realty Trust was also approved for the zone bounded by Braker Lane, Burnet Road, MoPac Expressway and Stonelake Boulevard.

Acacia Cliffs, a 700-unit residential project by Price Acacia Cliff, gained approval at addresses including 7201, 7201½, 7205 and 7121 Hart Lane.
