Plaza Saltillo project in East Austin gets initial approval, but building heights lowered
Quote:
Endeavor Real Estate Group LLC has won preliminary approval for the rezoning of the Plaza Saltillo track in East Austin, a critical step to turn 10 acres on six blocks into a mixed-use center. Still, the measure passed with shorter building heights than the real estate company had hoped for, while negotiations continue with nearby residents worried about the scope of the development.
Austin City Council voted 8-3 Thursday on the first reading of the zoning change and other measures for the land near Fifth and Comal streets, but with building heights capped at 70 feet instead of the 125 feet desired by Endeavor and partner Columbus Realty Partners Ltd.
