Capitol Complex, Phase 2

https://www.spartnerships.com/newsletter/2022/tgi-11-18-2022/texas-government-insider-11-18-2022.html November 18, 2022 The second phase of the Texas Capitol Complex Project is underway with two new state office buildings totaling 525,000 square feet being added to the complex. The plan will extend the Capitol Complex pedestrian mall from 15th to 16th Street, completing the outdoor shopping area that stretches to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. A new office structure will replace a childcare center and parking lot at the intersection of West 15th Street and Lavaca Street. A second structure will replace the Texas DPS district office at West 15th Street and Congress Avenue. The second phase of the project will extend the underground parking structure to follow the path of the pedestrian mall to add space for 2,550 cars. Extending underground parking may allow the demolition of above-ground parking in the area and use the land for future building projects. The second phase of the Capitol Complex Project should be completed in 2025. _________________________________________________________ As of June 22, 2022, this designer has been selected for this project. *The previous solicitation is listed below for reference TFC is requesting submittal of qualifications to provide prime professional architectural/ engineering (A/E) services for Project #20-028-8011, for two new state office buildings, associated parking structures, and extension of pedestrian mall (Capitol Mall) within the Capitol Complex in Austin, Texas.
