For sale: a 11,776 SF (over 1/4 acre!) mixed-use development parcel (Lots 7 & 8, 92' frontage on E. 7th, 128' depth) at the corner of E. 7th and San Marcos Streets in East Austin, within the Plaza Saltillo TOD Station Area Plan, zoned as Corridor Mixed-Use Subdistrict. This designation is the least restrictive in the TOD and permits up to 60’ building height, 45 living units/acre, with no minimum unit requirement, and diverse uses, potentially eligible for an Affordable Housing Density Bonus.

The 11-acre Plaza Saltillo hub celebrates East Austin’s Hispanic heritage with public art, a Mexican-style plaza, retail, restaurants, offices, and 800+ apartments (18% affordable). Future enhancements include 1.4 acres of parks, extended bikeways to Lady Bird Lake, and sustainable stormwater systems, ensuring long-term economic and cultural vitality.
