An Austin developer is planning a downtown apartment project that would offer rental rates below those at surrounding luxury developments.
Shoal Cycle, which will be along Shoal Creek at 11th Street, will have 210 beds with 58 parking spaces, as well as 3,500 square feet of retail, according to developer Weaver Buildings.
The project intends to offer rents that are affordable to service industry, creative class and office employees, as well as those who work for publicly funded entities such as the University of Texas, the city of Austin and the state of Texas. Rental rates would target those making about $55,000 annually.
The developer has filed a zoning request to build a project up to 90 feet tall. The request will be reviewed by the Austin Planning Commission in the coming months, with the Austin City Council having the final say.

Jen Weaver lay awake in fear much of Friday night and Saturday morning listening to trees and limbs crashing to the ground, overcome by the weight of their icy silver shroud. With no warning, their bedroom lights flashed on and then went black.
She clicked on the light switch. Nothing. Her entire Lake Oswego neighborhood was black.
Weaver and tens of thousands of other Oregonians are now entering their third night without electricity. When the ice storm knocked out the power, it was like they were transported back in time. For some, no electricity means no heat other than fire, no way to cook, no lights other than flashlights and camp lanterns, No television, no computer, no cell phone. For others
