People -families- are finally arriving into the Mueller Austin urban village that has been designed on the site of the old Robert Mueller Municipal Airport. This is very exciting prospect for the Project Manager who has worked on this project for seven years.

The Mueller Austin urban village is the result of a grass roots effort that was originally envisioned by a group of local citizens. The project has taken the best part of twenty years to morph into the giant plan that is now the vision of the Catellus Development Group.

This new development is being constructed on the old airport premises of 711 acres; the old airport was shuttered in 1999 as it became too small to cope with the air traffic demand. The site is situated only three miles from downtown and is near to the University of Texas.

Being designed from scratch has meant that this brand new settlement can have many new and idealistic visions incorporated into it. The first is, of course, environmentally conscientious building practices and the large Home Depot store is conforming strictly to this, going for a three star rating, the first area Home Depot store to attempt it.

However, although many new businesses have moved in including the new children's hospital, the Dell Medical Children's Center, it has only been late this year that people have actually been taking an interest. Families have been paying down payments and people are moving in.

Several of the early residents won their home by lottery, but for the rest of the residents, homes start around $240,000.00. There is a choice from seventy different home styles to choose from and around a quarter of all homes will be in the affordable housing bracket. Condos and apartments are planned in the 348 homes that will be built in the village.

The area has been designed with all the prior knowledge if what works in an urban village. One of its features will be to have a walkable layout. Among its acres of parkland will be a town center, an elementary school and a mix of commercial, residential and retails areas.

The planning concept is said to be avoiding a 'sprawl' on outer Austin and the developers expect to be finished the home building part of in late 2008/early 2009.
