Downtown Austin has a new exciting development in the works that stands to draw much attention and future business. The Waller Creek Project's proposed location is between 12th Street south along I35 all the way to Lady Bird Lake. To view a map of the proposed location see http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/wallercreek/downloads/wc_flood_plains_no_parcels.pdf
The project is already underway with geotechnical and survey work being done, with expected completion in 6-7 years. The plan includes shopping and restaurants right along a waterway, similar to the Riverwalk in San Antonio, complete with an outdoor ampitheater.
What does this major project mean to downtown? Well, it could draw increased business and interest to the downtown area, especially the businesses and condos in the very nearby vicinity. It also shows that Austin is still growing its music and fine arts venues, and its overall image as the Music Capital.
