Mueller Plan, originally uploaded by Rob Goodspeed

Building a Community with Bits and Backhoes:

Located on the former site of the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport (which closed in 1999), the 711 acre Mueller redevelopment project will be larger in size than either downtown Austin, or the University of Texas campus. When the project is complete the neighborhood will house 10,000 residents, 10,000 jobs, over 1,000 units of affordable housing. The site will contain a town center, grocery store, school, parks, the Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas, and the Austin Studios filmmaking complex.

This sort of community building is only magnified in New York City due to the scale and density of the city and NYC resident’s propensity to discuss real estate. From macro sites like Curbed to niche sites such as Gowanus Lounge and Kensington Brooklyn Blog all scales are covered.
That no one lives in the Mueller development an interesting development.
