Austin's West Lynn Corridor Set for New Luxury Mixed-Use Development as $70 Million 'The Westlyn' Project Moves Forward
Austin's West Lynn corridor is poised for another significant investment as plans move forward for The Westlyn, a $70 million mixed-use development coming to the former Nau's Enfield Drug site that will combine luxury residences, neighborhood retail and adaptive re-use elements in one of the city's most established neighborhoods.
Scheduled to begin construction in mid-January 2027 with an anticipated completion in mid-January 2029, the project represents another example of Austin's continued urban infill development, where new housing and commercial opportunities are being integrated into existing neighborhoods rather than expanding outward. For nearby residents and businesses, the development reflects the ongoing demand for thoughtfully designed mixed-use spaces that allow people to live, shop and gather within walking distance.
A New Mixed-Use Destination Planned for Central Austin
Located at 1111 W Lynn StreetAustin, TX 78703, The Westlyn is planned as a 165,096-square-foot development featuring approximately 27 luxury residences, curated retail space and structured parking.
According to project information filed with the state, construction will include:
- 102,878 square feet of multifamily residential space and resident amenities
- 13,421 square feet of tenant finish-out space for retail or commercial uses
- 48,797 square feet of structured parking
- Total estimated project cost of $70 million
Designed by Miro Rivera Architects, the planned development embraces a luxury mixed-use concept while incorporating adaptive re-use principles, a design approach that seeks to integrate new construction with existing urban character whenever practical.
While construction is still more than a year away, the timeline provides residents, nearby businesses and stakeholders with an early look at one of the next major developments planned for Austin's West Lynn area.
Developed by a Longtime Austin Real Estate Company
The Westlyn is being developed by Zydeco Development, an Austin-based commercial real estate firm founded in 1993.
Over more than three decades, the privately held company has developed millions of square feet of commercial real estate throughout Central Texas, with a portfolio that includes master-planned business parks, mixed-use developments and community-focused projects.
According to the company, its name is inspired by the Louisiana-born Zydeco music genre, reflecting a collaborative culture rooted in creativity and entrepreneurship. Beyond real estate development, Zydeco says it has also invested time and resources into nonprofit initiatives throughout the Austin community.
What Happens Next
As planning and logistics continue, additional details regarding future retail tenants, residential offerings and construction milestones are expected to emerge closer to the project's groundbreaking.
The Westlyn joins a growing number of mixed-use developments that continue reshaping Austin's urban core, reflecting both the city's sustained growth and an increasing emphasis on creating neighborhoods where housing, shopping and community spaces exist side by side.
For residents and visitors of Central Austin, projects like The Westlyn offer another glimpse into how established neighborhoods continue to evolve while balancing new investment with the character that has long defined the area.
