The Triangle is an emerging high-density development district, defined by North
Lamar Boulevard, West Guadalupe Street, and West 45th Street. Its mixed-use
character is both horizontal and vertical. Several mid-rise buildings have retail at
sidewalk level and apartments above, with structured parking wrapped within the
project that includes park & ride spaces. The MetroRapid 801 Triangle Station is
located on the east side of the development, which is also served by the MetroRapid
803 Sunshine Station on the west side. The Triangle is surrounded by State of
Texas and other health facilities. Surface parking areas, including a large lot on
West Guadalupe opposite Triangle Station, provide opportunities for future infill.
The station area provides extensive open space, including Triangle Park, the UT
Intramural Fields, and Sunshine Community Gardens. Single-family neighborhoods
are located on the east and west edges of the station area. “Imagine Austin” refers
to this area as an activity corridor node.
