More housing is coming to Austin's bustling Mueller neighborhood, the large development that replaced the city's former airport site with residential and commercial development.

Developer Austin Modern Lofts said it is soon to start construction on a mixed-use project with condominiums, townhomes and retail space on Mueller's north side.

The project will follow the start of construction on another residential-commercial project by Austin Modern Lofts. That development will consist of a three-story building on the south side of the 700-acre Mueller development, which is just north of downtown and east of Interstate 35.

Neither of Austin Modern Lofts' projects has been named yet.

The firm's newest project will have 39 for-sale homes, with 31 of them condos and eight live/work units with ground-floor commercial space. The new condo project will complete the southeast block at 51st Street and Mueller Boulevard, next to the Austin school district's Performing Arts Center.

Six of the condos will be earmarked for families who earn 80% or less of the Austin area’s median family income, the developer said.

The first residents are expected to move into their new homes in the first quarter of 2023.

The new project will bring "even more diverse housing options" to homebuyers, Fei Dai, vice president of development for Catellus Development, said in a written statement. Catellus is the developer leading Mueller's ongoing transformation. Mueller is a joint project between the city of Austin's Economic Development Department and Catellus that was long in the making before it took flight when the first dirt turned.

Today, and as was envisioned by the city, Mueller features a variety of housing options, including traditional yard homes, condos, apartments and attached row homes.

"Mueller has an important mix of housing styles, sizes and price points, just as the surrounding community and the city always intended it to have," Dai said.

Pricing for the units in Austin Modern Lofts' projects has not been set, according to the developer.

Austin Modern Lofts also did not provide a cost to build the projects.

The newest project will be four stories and be distinguished by colorful, spacious balconies. There will be commercial space on the ground floor for a to-be-determined retail or restaurant use.

The building will be next to a parking garage that both residents and Performing Art Center visitors can use.

Austin Modern Lofts' condo/retail project is being designed by Austin-based MWM DesignGroup. The builder will be Pyramid ATX Construction.

David Foor, vice president of acquisitions for Austin Modern Lofts, said the company is already seeing "a lot of interest" in its condo/retail project on Mueller's south side, near the airport's old control tower, "and we believe homebuyers will be equally interested in this project at 51st Street."

That project will include some ground-floor retail, plus 34 condos and 56 townhomes. Five of the townhomes will have first-floor commercial space and two stories of living space above.

Austin Modern Lofts plans to have pricing and other sales information, including a website, sometime later this year.

Along with Austin Modern Lofts' two projects, other residential, retail and commercial projects are underway at Mueller:

• CalAtlantic Homes, David Weekley Homes, Empire Communities, the Muskin Company and Wes Peoples Homes are building a collection of about 370 attached and detached homes on Mueller’s southeast side;

Once completed, Mueller will be home to at least 6,900 single-family and multifamily homes (including more than 1,725 homes for income-qualified buyers); the mixed-use town center district known as Aldrich Street; 5.5 million square feet of commercial space; and 140 acres of public parks and open space. Existing development includes the Dell Children’s Medical Center; the Austin Film Studios; the Thinkery Children’s Museum; an H-E-B grocery store and the Austin school district's Performing Arts Center.
