With the block-sized Centro office development now complete at 1401 East Sixth Street, its developers at local firm Riverside Resources are pondering the project’s second phase. You might recall that the pair of five-story office buildings now standing at the site are only part of the story, with more buildings planned on the block east of the project’s handy new outdoor paseo that pedestrianizes a stretch of Onion Street. 

But while the assumption for years now was that Centro Phase 2 would simply add more office buildings to the roughly 3.25-acre collection of properties, the latest permits for the next stage of the project indicate the developers are shifting gears — city filings as recent as this month instead describe the second half of the project at 1501 East Sixth Street as a 260-unit apartment building, rising to a surprising height of nine floors as allowed by the density bonuses for residential projects in the Transit-Oriented Development area created around the adjacent Saltillo MetroRail station.
