AUSTIN (Austin American-Statesman, Austin Business Journal) – City leaders and developer Catellus Development Corp. have selected six companies to build the first phase of the new Mueller neighborhood.
The neighborhood, which is being built on the site of the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, will eventually include 1,500 single-family homes, 900 row houses and 2,200 apartments and condominiums. About 25 percent of those units will be included in the Mueller Affordable Homes Program.
The builders are David Weekley Homes, Meritage Homes, Standard Pacific Homes, Saldaña Homes, Streetman Homes and The Muskin Co. Saldaña, Streetman and Muskin are locally based.
The Mueller project, which is the largest public-private venture in Austin's history, will house up to 10,000 residents. In addition, it is expected to add $1 billion to the city's tax base and generate thousands of jobs.
