2nd Street District Master Plan
The 2nd Street District is the pulse of downtown Austin. Spanning six city blocks, this district blends office, residential, retail, and public spaces into an innovative, people-centered design.
At its heart, Austin City Hall anchors the scene, positioned along the Drake Bridge axis with a plaza overlooking Lady Bird Lake. Flanking it, six-story office buildings designed by Page create a defined yet inviting public space, while taller buildings set further back introduce residences above street-level retail.
This district thrives on energy—boutiques, cafes, and entertainment spots shape an engaging streetscape. An 18-story tower on the west end features an art cinema, recreation deck, and residences, while a nearby hotel and residential tower includes a performance venue. With a focus on thoughtful urban design, the 2nd Street District delivers a space where Austin moves, connects, and evolves.
