Catellus Development Group, master developer of Mueller in central Austin, announced that it has selected the locally led team of DMA Development Company (DMA) and Carleton Residential Properties to build a multi-family housing community exclusively for seniors in Mueller’s future Tower District.The team of DMA and Carleton has selected Austin-based Hailey Group Architects to design the building. In addition to the many amenities common to senior communities, such as fitness centers,activity rooms and libraries, the Mueller senior community will also include an artist studio along with a coffee shop and art gallery. Additionally, the development will feature several live/work spaces for entrepreneurial seniors such as accountants, artists and consultants, who are not yet ready for retirement.

The community is currently scheduled to break ground in the spring of 2010 with initial move in scheduled for fall 2011.
