History

Established in 2013.

Beginning around the turn of the millennium, the City’s urban renewal plan sought to revive and revitalize the once vibrant retail and entertainment district along the 11^th and 12^th Street corridors. As a part of that plan, block 19 — the section whereupon Quickie Pickie and the East Village Lofts now sit — was slated for total demolition to make way for an office building with ground level retail. Progress, however, was slow.

Then, just as East Austin was beginning to come into its own as an up and coming neighborhood (signified by a newly-​acquired upper-​case E), fears about the economy caused the redevelopment process to all but stop. When some of the small businesses that had been part of the initial development phase began to struggle, it became clear that what was missing was customers. In other words, residents with disposable income.

Thus was the East Village Lofts project born and the Quickie Pickie saved.
