Parmer Sector 8 Mixed-Use Development Evolution

Challenge: Parmer Sector 8 is a mixed-use development that began as a Dell campus and evolved into a primary manufacturing hub. The challenge was to develop the industrial land while maintaining site balance on the sloped property, enabling minimal grade adjustments, and achieving a functional layout for walking, parking, and common areas.

Solution: HR Green was engaged to address the unique challenges of this industrial land development, providing comprehensive design and planning support to create a balanced, functional, and efficient site.

• Site Balance and Grading: Multiple iterations were required to balance the site soils and create a reasonable slope across the property, minimizing grade adjustments while promoting usability for visitors and employees.
• Infrastructure Design: Designed and coordinated transportation access, loading docks, and accommodations for heavy machinery to support industrial operations. 
• Utility Coordination: Managed the complex utility requirements, including multiple entry points for utilities, enabling seamless integration and adaptability to tenant-specific needs.
• Regulatory Compliance: Navigated the stringent zoning laws and land use regulations, working closely with regulatory agencies to facilitate compliance and smooth project approval.

Benefit: HR Green’s innovative solutions and strategic collaboration resulted in a well-balanced and functional site that meets the manufacturing needs of Parmer Sector 8 while adhering to zoning and land use regulations. The infrastructure supports efficient industrial operations, with easy access for transportation and logistics, and the complex utility setup meets the demands of heavy machinery and multiple entry points.

Immediate and Long-Term Value

• Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The site design accommodates Parmer Sector 8’s specific needs, improving overall operational efficiency.
• Community Benefits: The development supports the local economy by providing additional manufacturing capabilities, contributing to job creation and economic growth in Austin.
