Housing options in the Mueller planned community expanded this week, as AMLI Residential announced that its new 406-unit apartment complex, Branch Park, is complete.
The complex has studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and two-story apartments with wood-style flooring, large windows, and patios or balconies. Kitchens have soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, stone backsplashes, energy-efficient refrigerators, and under-cabinet lighting. Some apartments have feature LED designer lighting, private fenced yards, wine refrigerators, and built-in bookshelves and desks.
Units range from 643 square feet to 1,330 square feet, with current rents from $1,975 per month to $4,667 monthly, according to the Branch Park website.
Branch Park's shared amenities include a ¾-acre pool deck with private and community cabanas, a grill station, a fire pit, and a hammock grove in the north building and a separate, resort-style pool in the south building. There's also a "maker space" with art supplies, a shaded pet park with dog agility equipment and an elaborate dog-washing setup.
In addition to the de rigueur two-story fitness center, clubroom with a full-service kitchen, 3,500-square-foot coworking space, conference rooms, private workrooms, collaborative workspaces, and two communal fireplaces, there's a vinyl listening area, an outdoor space overlooking Mary Elizabeth Branch Park, a bicycle storage and maintenance, and a fully stocked gardening room.
AMLI Branch Park’s ground floor has 20,000 square feel of retail and restaurant space. Businesses slated to open there this year include Chuy’s, Hopdoddy, Honest Mary’s, and Modern Animal veterinary clinic.
The complex's slew of environmental and energy efficiency perks include its LEED Homes Award in the outstanding developer category and its status as LEED Platinum certified and AEGB 1-star-rated. It’s also a part of the city of Austin’s SMART Housing program.
This is AMLI’s third complex in Mueller; its fourth, North Park, is scheduled to open this summer, and a fifth complex is slated for 2025.
