The Seaholm Plaza development, located in the heart of the new southwest downtown residential and shopping district, offers possibly the most exciting new retail and restaurant locations that have ever been available in Austin’s CBD. The Seaholm Plaza development will consist of a 160-room luxury boutique hotel, managed by one of the country’s premier hotel management teams, 80 condominium units, almost 100,000 s.f. of office space and 50-60,000 s.f. of retail and restaurant space, all surrounding a dramatic and accessible public plaza.
Available restaurant and retail spaces will range in size from 1000 s.f. up to 10,000 s.f. and will be located on the plaza level of the three to four buildings surrounding the central plaza itself. Some spaces will offer both indoor and outdoor restaurant seating or expanded retail areas. Management of the development, including exciting programming of the public spaces, will serve to create a vibrant festival atmosphere for shoppers, residents of Seaholm and neighboring developments, hotel guests, office workers, and local visitors. They will be able to shop, dine and be entertained in a mix of the best in a historically significant structure with dramatic new architecture.
The Seaholm Plaza development, located on the shores of Town Lake, will provide direct access to the Austin’s renowned Hike and Bike Trail, as well as to the rest of the City via the planned streetcar and commuter rail lines, both of which will have stops at Seaholm along 3rd St. In addition, it is anticipated that 2nd Street will be extended to terminate at Seaholm at West Avenue, which itself will be extended to Cesar Chavez where a new signalized intersection will be constructed. A new street, Seaholm Drive, will extend along the west side of the property, also tying in to Cesar Chavez and a signalized intersection and pedestrian cross walk. The development will also offer some 800 parking spaces in convenient, well-lit garage structures.
A limited number of retail and restaurant tenants will be selected to occupy what may be the most exciting, iconic and anticipated project in downtown Austin’s history. Pre-leasing will begin in 2007.
