About Austin's Mueller

The pace of new development has slowed at the old airport redevelopment in Austin. What is in store for the master planned Mueller development - when will there be a town center, grocery store, condos, or even the next development of new homes?

Today, Catellus lead on the Mueller project Greg Weaver came to address the Mueller Neighborhood Association. There are some excellent meeting minutes on the Mueller Community site which give an overview of what he said during the first part of the meeting.

Mueller homes sales in a nutshell

• The condos are coming - the plans are approved and the builder is working on financing
• The next phases of development are going to be incremental and may include Mueller Houses (multi-family homes that look like large single family homes)
• The affordable program is going to move forward in the next phase
• The town center is 3+ years out
• Plans for the grocery store are still cooking
• Expect announcements in the next 60 days about the coming developments

The "SunFlowers - An Electric Garden" installation on the west side of the Meuller Redevelopment can't be missed from I-35. Designed by artists Mags Harries and Lajos Heder as a sustainable public art installation, the iconic "flowers" also serve as solar panels, and provide shade on a hiking trail that winds through them.

The artists say: "We set out to create something new and fitting for the Mueller Redevelopment and for the whole city of Austin. Sustainable development and environmental stewardship are a high priority here. We decided to put our project to work creating renewable energy, as well as shade and comfort along the bike path. Natural sunflowers process solar energy to grow, ours do it to light themselves at night and to put extra kilowatts of electrical energy into the grid."

We say it's a perfect combination of style and function, that fits nicely with the modern home scene in Austin.

There are two Mueller Austin Affordable Homes available right now, much to the surprise of everyone who is clammering to get into one. These two Longhorn plans from David Weekley will sell in the next few days due to pent up demand. If you'd like to be poised and ready to take advantage of the next ones, get in touch so that we can prepare for the next announcement.

Check out this short video where I talk about silver linings and clouds while standing in the rain at Lake Park, looking at the former affordable model home next to the $1.4m 2009 Parade of Homes masterpieces.

If you haven't heard of the affordable program, it's a shared equity appreciation model of home ownership. In a nutshell it means that you can live in Austin's fastest selling green neighborhood for as little as $155,000 in a new 3 star green home.

The program is income qualified - you need to earn less than 80% of the Austin median family income to apply.

Mueller Airport Development in Austin Texas is a multi purpose development bringing housing, retail, hospital and business developments together into one community. The variety of housing is astounding. From the New York Brownstone to Lofts and above retail living spaces to your traditional spacious Single Family Residence, all have their own charm and presence in the area. In the center of it all is a pond and park brining community even more together.

Recently I wrote a post on the over 55 housing that is being planned at Mueller Airport. Out of this post I decided to visit the emerging housing development in North Central Austin to see how things were progressing. I'm impressed. The community and environment is both fun and inviting. It was like a town within a city - you don't even have to leave the development, it's all there. Hospital, dining, shopping, parks and recreation - Austin's little Mayberry.
