Austin (Travis County) — Construction crews have begun early site preparations for the North Burnet/Uptown Station, marking the next significant step in expanding public transit access across Central Texas.

The new station—formerly known as Broadmoor Station—is a joint project between CapMetro and Brandywine Realty Trust and will be located within the 66-acre Uptown ATX development near The Domain. Complete construction is scheduled to begin in November.

The station is expected to become the second-busiest stop on CapMetro’s Red Line, which connects Downtown Austin to Leander and serves as a key link in the region’s growing Project Connect commuter rail system. Designed for accessibility and high-capacity service, the project will include two double-length platforms, over a half-mile of double track, pedestrian- and bike-friendly pathways, connections to local bus routes, and 200 shared parking spaces. Safety features such as upgraded lighting and surveillance are also part of the plan.

Located just steps from Solaris House and One Uptown, the station will serve as a new gateway for thousands of commuters, residents, and visitors. “This marks a strong step forward in building a smarter, more connected future for Central Texas,” said Dottie Watkins, president and CEO of CapMetro. “The North Burnet/Uptown Station isn’t just about expanding transit—it’s about creating meaningful access to opportunity in one of our region’s fastest-growing corridors.”

Brandywine Realty Trust, which is providing the land and coordinating infrastructure investment, is also advancing ongoing development in the Uptown ATX district. The mixed-use community already features nearly 400 luxury apartments and 350,000 square feet of office space, with future phases planned for retail, hospitality, and green space. Austin City Councilmember Mike Siegel praised the project as “a testament to the city’s commitment to providing accessible, high-quality public transportation” for residents in the fast-growing North Burnet corridor.
