Another year, another set of incredible activity in Mueller. Here’s an abbreviated list of Mueller’s 2021 accomplishments.
More Retail
We announced a number of new businesses will join Aldrich Street in 2021, including Veracruz All Natural, Tinys Milk & Cookies, Marufuku Ramen, Austin Eye Studio, Lone Star Pediatric Dental and Braces and Vio Med Spa. We also welcomed The Kebab Shop and Hey Cupcake! to Mueller.
More Homes
A collection of 370 single-family homes (with 25% of them a part of the affordable homes program) are well underway by CalAtlantic, David Weekley, Empire, Muskin and Wes Peoples homebuilders.
More Parks
The nearly 30-acre Southeast Greenway and the skate park and pump track broke ground this year, plus consultants are designing three more parks – one that will be amid the homes currently under construction, one that will be just south of the school site and an open, public plaza and paseo that will lead to the former control tower.
