AUSTIN, Texas — It could be the end of an era for another classic business in Austin.
Highland Lanes on Burnet Road is expected to shut its doors by the end of 2024 after nearly 50 years of operation.
According to the Austin Business Journal, the owners of the bowling alley said their lease is up. There are currently plans to convert the bowling alley into a new 300-unit multifamily development which will also feature 36 units reserved for affordable housing. The development will also feature 4,000 square feet of commercial use space.
In the meantime, owners of the bowling alley told the Austin Business Journal that they're searching for a new location.
KVUE reached out to the owners of Highland Lanes, who have not yet set a closing date. They said they would not comment on the reports until there is something more definitive.
