Background

Austin City Council has made their decision when it comes to the controversial Austin Oaks PUD development.

Early this morning, leaders approved the development in Northwest Austin, which will revamp a 32-acre office park at Mopac and Spicewood Springs Road.

The replacement will add restaurants, 250 apartments and a park to that property. Neighbors designed the project alongside developers, but some worried it was too much for the area.

The vote was postponed last month after opponents asked for more time.

The Grove at Shoal Creek was also approved last night. 

The ten to one vote, sealed the deal for the Grove development. The development will be located in Central Austin looking southwest toward MoPac. The 75-acre project will include retail space and more than 1,500 apartments.
