Proposed Planned Development "Burnet Quarter" at 3425 Burnet Ave in Avondale

Background

Steiner + Associates, Civitas Development Group, and Continental Development Ventures are requesting a zone change from Residential Mixed (RMX-T) and Commercial Neighborhood Mixed (CN-M-T) to a Planned Development District (PD) in order to develop approximately 300 units of multifamily apartments, with first floor retail and parking, on approximately two acres of land located at 3425 Burnet Avenue in Avondale.

This mixed-use development, which will be known as Burnet Square, is primarily residential apartments, with ground level retail space anchoring the corner at Northern and Burnet Avenues, and two levels of partially underground parking. The current concept contemplates a seven-level structure with one level being partially below grade in the south and eastern portion of the site, resulting in a six-story building on the primary frontage of Burnet Avenue. The primary vehicular entrances will be a maximum of 24’ wide and restricted to the Northern and Erkenbrecher frontages. The development’s goal is to provide 25 to 350 spaces to ensure convenient overnight parking for residents. The project anticipates construction in early 2026 with completion and opening towards the end of 2027.

Burnet Square is the first project of multiple to be included in Uptown Consortium and Steiner + Associates' broader Burnet Quarter project, which aims to transform Burnet Avenue into a vibrant mixed-use district with multi-family residences, condominiums, affordable housing, a hotel, short-term rentals, office spaces and retail options.
