The award-winning public-private partnership between the City of Austin and Catellus Development Group was the result of hundreds of public meetings and collaboration between the City, its consultants and community stakeholders.
Formally adopted in 2000, the Mueller Master Plan, formerly the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport Reuse Plan, a conveniently located, underused piece of land would become adapted for an exciting reuse as an "urban village" in the heart of Austin.
Over the last 20 years, a clear community plan emerged for the old airport – a vision that will create a vibrant mixed-use, mixed-income community, with residential neighborhoods, retail and offices. Mueller is a model for responsible urban planning and development and has resulted in a community that is compact and pedestrian-scaled, supportive of transit, and compatible with the surrounding fabric of single-family neighborhoods.
The Mueller Master Development Agreement between the City of Austin and Catellus Development was unanimously approved by City Council on Dec. 2, 2004. Review the complete Mueller Master Development Agreement between the City of Austin and Catellus Development Corporation at the link above.
On May 30, 2024 the Austin City Council unanimously authorized the execution of an Amendment to the Mueller Master Development Agreement (Item 11). The amendment included the following revisions:
- Change the MDA termination date to December 31, 2027
- Reset calculation of annual required property takedowns based on remaining acreage
- Extend amount of time to prepare final project accounting
