AUSTIN – Construction is set to get underway in late September 2017 to build new state office buildings, parking garages and a green space along Congress Ave. north of the Capitol between 15th St. and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
The first phase includes two new state buildings and three blocks of the so-called “Texas Mall” promenade, as well as utilities and above-and below-ground parking.
Groundbreaking for the first phase will take place at 1801 Congress Ave., a parking lot across Congress Avenue from the Bullock Texas State History Museum.
A 603,000-sf, 14-story office building is set to replace the parking lot.
The $170.35 million building will serve as a new headquarters for the Texas Lottery Commission, as well as house other state offices that haven’t been determined yet.
The second building included in the first phase—priced at $89.4 million—will be located at 1601 Congress Ave. and will be 12 stories tall and encompass about 416,000 sf.
A contiguous, five-level parking garage will be built beneath the two new buildings.
