University Medical Center Brackenridge Hospital To Become New Mix-Use Development With Housing, Retail, Office Space

The board of directors of Central Health of Travis County selected a mixed-use project on the site of the former University Medical Center Brackenridge Hospital in downtown Austin.

The board of directors of Central Health of Travis County selected a Maryland-based company to develop a mixed-use project on the site of the former University Medical Center Brackenridge Hospital in downtown Austin.

The 14.3-acre site at 15th and Red River streets will be used for a high-density, mixed-use development that includes housing, with some affordable housing, retail and office space in addition to green space.

The site is near the new Dell Seton Medical Center that opened in May and is located on six contiguous blocks in the downtown area.

Current plans are to demolish the former hospital in a year with construction on the mixed-use development to break ground in two to three years and be completed in phases over a 15-year period.
