WEITZMAN NAMED EXCLUSIVE RETAIL AGENT FOR DOBIE MALL

AUSTIN—Austin’s No. 1 private dorm, The Dobie Center, has announced that it has selected The Weitzman Group as the exclusive leasing agent for The Dobie Mall.

The Dobie Mall features 65,000 square feet of bi-level retail space at 2021 Guadalupe Street, directly across from the University of Texas at Austin, and is located directly below the 370,000-square-foot, 27-story Dobie Center, which accommodates 900 residents. In addition, due to proximity to the University of Texas, the mall benefits from more than 47,000 students within one block, as well as a residential population of more than 26,000 within a one-mile radius.

Matt Epple with the Commercial Retail Division of The Weitzman Group will direct leasing at Dobie Mall.

The Dobie Mall features a wide variety of entertainment, food and retail offerings, as well as the historic four-screen Dobie Theatre, where Oscar-nominated director Richard Linklater premiered “Dazed and Confused”,  and a 500-seat food court on its second level.  Dobie Mall is proud to have recently added The Princeton Review, one of the world’s most prestigious admissions and educational testing companies, to its roster, Epple noted.

Dobie Mall features retail uses that include a bookstore, convenience store, specialty retail uses and a number of restaurants. Services include hair, nail and tanning salons, a bank and a copy center.

Residential interviews and tours are available at Dobie Center; please contact Joie or Ben at (512) 579-5460. Dobie Center staff is currently taking online applications for the 2009 fall semester.  More information about retail and residential leasing is available at www.dobiecenter.com.
