Brodie Oaks Development Request Put On Pause

A long-standing project that’s been in our minds since 2020, the Brodie Oaks project in South Austin has stumbled upon recent developments that have raised some questions about its progress with the community. Let’s take a look at what we know about this unique project.

First introduced to the city in 2020 at a city council meeting, the Brodie Oaks shopping center transformation has boded well for the city, despite concerns raised by neighboring residents. 

Until recently, the project has been greenlit by the City Council. However, in the February 9th meeting, council members voted to postpone action on the development’s rezoning request that would clear the way for the mixed-use urban center.

The project, headed by Barshop & Oles Company, would reignite the area with its redevelopment of the original 1980s shopping center. Plans show a transformation into 1.26 million square feet of office units, 13.7 acres of open space, 140,000 square feet of ground available for retail shops, restaurants, and even a potential grocery store, as well as multiple towers across the 37.6-acre development.

And while this delay is daunting to some, it does not seem to be hindering the project’s timeline and development. Development partners and the city council have agreed that the language of this request is an essential aspect of the approval process, one aspect that requires more attention before moving forward with the Brodie Oaks approval.

Keep in mind that this is not a rejection of Brodie Oak’s proposal, simply a postponement that will provide the developers with ample time to create a formal written agreement for review with the city.
