Travis County Seeks to Leverage the Potential of City Block

The site was recently repositioned to leverage its substantial value.

AUSTIN, TX—The Travis County purchasing agent is soliciting development proposals for a prime downtown Austin infill site comprising a full city block. The county seeks proposals that maximize value for the 77,215-square-foot site, which could be developed to a 25:1 floor area ratio based on the city’s density bonus program.

The site at 308 Guadalupe St. is bounded by Third and Fourth streets to the south and north, and Guadalupe and San Antonio streets to the east and west. Previously considered for public use, the site was recently repositioned to leverage its substantial value. The site is adjacent to significant development projects valued at more than $2 billion and is the most prime undeveloped block in downtown Austin, unrestricted by Capitol View Corridor limitations.
