A new development in East Austin promises to live up to its “green” name.
Springdale Green, a 30-acre office project recently given the go-ahead by Austin City Council, will include nearly 50 electric vehicle charging points, storage for more than 300 bikes, a jogging loop and nature trails.
The project on Airport Boulevard and Springdale Road consists of two six-story office buildings with a total of 872,000 square meters of lettable space. “Embedded in a restored nature reserve, it will transform a former fallow land into a green oasis,” say the developers of the project.
The equipment includes:
-
18,000 m² conference room with its own outdoor terrace
-
23,000 square meter fitness and wellness center for employees only
-
Parking garage with 46 charging stations for electric vehicles
-
Storage space for 308 bicycles
-
36,000 square meters of terraces
-
Jogging loop
-
Nature trails
-
Almost a mile boardwalk
-
Areas for yoga, boot camp, basketball, volleyball, and other activities
Construction of the project is underway. The companies behind Springfield Green are aiming for a completion date in late 2023. The main actors in the project are the real estate developer Jay Paul Co., the Gensler design office and the landscape architecture office dwg.
“Springdale Green represents a new type of office campus that is integrated into the fabric of the neighborhood and offers unique outdoor spaces that promote productivity, health and wellbeing,” said Janette D’Elia, Chief Operating Officer of Jay Paul, in a press release. “The campus design reflects the eclectic spirit and creativity of East Austin while also emphasizing sustainability with a number of environmental renovations for the surrounding landscape.”
Springfield Green’s landscape is over 19 acres that have been restored with native meadows, woodland and plants, and a tributary of a creek. A 600,000 gallon underground cistern will collect and store rainwater and collect condensation from air conditioning systems.
“Springdale Green represents a paradigm shift – healing and restoring a neglected area into an innovative and natural natural ecological landscape,” notes Daniel Woodroffe, President and Founder of Austin-based dwg. “All of these efforts create a high-performing and functional environment that meets the highest standards for sustainable design.”
