Workers are putting cosmetic touches on the incoming H-E-B at the corner of South Congress and Oltorf.
Why it matters: The key intersection, near the Travis Heights and Bouldin neighborhoods, is ripe for major development in coming years.
- Austin's planned light rail Orange Line — the same one Wheatsville says will cause havoc with its operations — is due to terminate at Oltorf and South Congress.
- The old Twin Oaks shopping center, also under the control of H-E-B, could be home to as many as a thousand homes, offices, a hotel and shops, per Austin Towers.
What's new: Artists have been sketching in a mural, and this week added the big "B" to the H-E-B on the building facade.
What's next: Supermarket workers say the new grocery store is slated to open in October.
