Mixed-use Lamar Union ready to shine in Austin

AUSTIN – Greystar Real Estate Partners is developing Lamar Union, a 1 million-sf mixed-use community located on nine acres at S. Lamar Blvd. and Treadwell St. Lamar Union is set to open its first phase in the coming weeks.

Lamar Union includes three multistory buildings featuring seven restaurants, 442 apartment units and more than 86,000 sf of retail space. The space was once the home of retail center Lamar Plaza, and its original tenant, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, remains at Lamar Union.

Design plans include the redevelopment of six theaters of the existing cinema, plus the addition of 15,684 sf for three new theaters, a new entry lobby and the adjoining Highball Lounge.

The three new residential buildings will include an additional 47,078 sf of ground-floor retail space, parking garages for 1,354 cars, new streetscapes and an urban plaza.

Retail and restaurant space at Lamar Union is almost completely leased.
