A 15-story office tower with ground floor retail is being proposed for the north east corner of West Cesar Chavez Street and Lamar Boulevard.
The new project, to be located between the Gables apartment and Seaholm, would be the first new office project constructed in the downtown core since the Frost Bank tower was completed in 2001. The developer behind the new project, Capital City Partners LLC, recently completed Capstar Plaza, a 115,000-square-foot, eight-story, office building at the southeast corner of MoPac Expressway and Fifth Street.
The new building, currently named Park Plaza, will only be built if the developer can line-up enough tenants to justify development. If completed, the project would include 189,000 square feet of Class A office space and 10,000 square feet of ground floor retail. The project would be located just West of Seaholm and across the street from Ladybird lake. The 1.8 acre plot is owned by Gables residential which recently completed a large low-rise rental project on an adjacent site.
