AUSTIN--CBRE has retained the exclusive retail leasing assignment for 2ND Street District in downtown Austin.

Eric DeJernett and Sergio Negrete with CBRE's Austin office, are the leasing advisors for 2ND Street District on behalf of AMLI Management Co., which operates the shopping district.

The district is home to a broad mix of boutique retail, restaurants and entertainment venues, combined with multifamily residential, hotel and office uses. Bounded by Cesar Chavez, Third, Colorado and San Antonio streets, the six-block district was transformed through a public-private partnership between the City of Austin and multiple private entities in the early 2000s. The first phase was so successful that it spawned further public-private partnerships for the ongoing redevelopment of the former Thomas Green Water Treatment Plant and Seaholm Power Plant along Second Street.
