The Austin Revitalization Authority rehabilitated the building through grants from the City of Austin and a loan from Chase Bank. With a formal reopening, Balcones Recycling has signed a 10-year lease to use the building as its headquarters.
The Haehnel building, located at 1101 E. 11th St., was built in the early 1880s and has served a variety of businesses. The last was Shorty's, a bar.
