The Scottish Inn site at 6201 E Hwy 290 presents a compelling redevelopment opportunity in the heart of one of Austin’s fastest-growing and most transformative submarkets. This 1.65-acre property is positioned directly along the Hwy 290 frontage road with excellent visibility and access, and is surrounded by a wave of dense residential, mixed-use, and commercial activity that continues to reshape the corridor.
The City of Austin recently approved major zoning updates just minutes from the site as part of the DB90 development program, unlocking thousands of new residential units and walkable public spaces. As surrounding parcels evolve, this site is well-positioned to ride the momentum of East Austin’s urban revitalization.
Zoned CS-MU, the property offers tremendous flexibility for ground-up multifamily, retail, or mixed-use development. Its location, size, and access make it ideal for developers looking to deliver a new vision to an underutilized parcel with immediate upside.
Over 105,000 vehicles per day pass near the site, with two existing curb cuts already in place.
Within a 3-mile radius, the population exceeds 159,000 residents, with an average household income of $127,280.
The area includes 88,000+ employees and nearly 10,000 businesses, reflecting a deep employment and consumer base.
Additionally, the property is:
Just 5 minutes from the Mueller District, one of Austin’s flagship redevelopment success stories.
7 minutes to UT Austin, 11 minutes to Downtown, and 15 minutes to the Domain and ABIA Airport.
In short, 6201 E Hwy 290 is a rare infill opportunity with the right zoning, demographics, and public-sector momentum to support a successful repositioning or full-scale redevelopment.
