Broadmoor Station breaks ground

One of Capital Metro’s two planned MetroRail Red Line stations broke ground last week. When it opens in early 2024, the Broadmoor station at 11501 Burnet Road will merrily convey passengers to the Domain and the new, mixed-use UptownATX project. Charles Schwab, which has an office nearby, and Brandywine Realty Trust, the developer of UptownATX, participated with the city in planning the station. As Assistant City Manager Gina Fiandaca pointed out in a news release, “Transit is less about what it does and more about what it means for our community. Putting together a public-private partnership to really deliver meaningful transit that’s transformative is just an amazing opportunity.” The other Red Line station, McKalla Station, is still in the design phase and will be located near Austin FC’s Q2 Stadium.
