The Seaholm District is a former industrial section of southwest downtown Austin that is undergoing a transformation into a vibrant urban neighborhood.

At the core of the district is the decommissioned Seaholm Power Plant which will be redeveloped into a landmark residential and retail destination.

Planning is taking shape in the district including Austin's new central library and the unprecedented opportunity for the redevelopment of the Green Water Treatment Plant property.

This Web site is is designed to keep the community informed about the public construction in the area. For private projects, please contact the appropriate developer for information.

The Seaholm District north-south boundaries are Lady Bird Lake and West Fifth Street and east-west are San Antonio Street and Lamar Boulevard. This boundary may change in the future as the district develops.
