Mixed-Use Development Gains Traction with Retailers

This will mark Finley’s seventh Austin location, along with two locations in the DFW metroplex.

AUSTIN, TX—Prominently located in central Austin at the busy corner of 38th Street and North Lamar Boulevard, Lamar Central, a four-story class-A office building, exemplifies successful mixed-use redevelopment within the city’s urban core. The site’s previous single-story retail with parking lots fronting the street was replaced by a pedestrian-scaled streetscape with engaging ground floor retail and curved glass that brings interest to the Lamar Street façade. It was recently recognized as the best new office development in Central Texas.

It has more than 165,000 square feet of retail and office lease space along with an adjacent 640-car parking garage. The LEED-certified structure was built with energy efficiency in mind. The garage has direct connection to each tenant floor and includes car-charging stations, bicycle storage space and a concrete cistern to collect rain water. Other amenities include floor-to-ceiling windows, patio dining, full-service locker rooms and a landscaped courtyard.
