‘A Shift in Focus’ for The Travis, a Two-Tower Development for Rainey Street

The Travis, a mixed-use development by Genesis Real Estate Group, will feature two towers at 80 Red River St. in the Rainey Street area. The project includes apartments, condos, hotel rooms, and retail space. With revised street-level plans focusing on plaza space, outdoor retail, and public art, the development aims to engage pedestrians and connect with nearby Waller Creek and trails. The developers seek a 13:1 floor-to-area ratio through the Downtown Density Bonus Program in exchange for affordable housing contributions. The Design Commission has approved the project, though some have suggested more retail and public amenities.
