Anderson Lane mixed-use plan pulled off table for now.
Capital City Partners Inc. has withdrawn its application to rezone the Village Shopping Center on West Anderson Lane for vertical mixed-use development. The project had been scheduled to come before the Austin Planning Commission tonight. However, company partner Joe Lamy said he still intends to build a long-term project that will include more shops, housing and offices on the 12-acre site.
Lamy said he is letting the city work review the project along with other areas being considered for vertical mixed-use designation rather than push it forward sooner.
Lamy said his company filed the application initially to “fully disclose (to the neighbors) what a VMU on that particular site would look like.”
The concept plan showed that the project could include more than 88,000 square feet of retail, 100,000 square feet of office space and more than 400 apartments. It would replace a 1970s-era shopping center.
“We are still going in the same direction and have the same intent,” Lamy said.
