John Boyd, vice president of Austin-based Realtex Development Corporation, said the developer had discontinued its efforts for the time being to build a 184-unit, low-income apartment complex between North Lamar Boulevard and I-35 south of Yager Lane in North Austin.

"That site has some potential," he said. "But we have other opportunities right now that fit better with our pipeline."

Boyd said the company was focusing on sites in other parts of Texas.

Cedar Hills Ltd., an affiliate of Realtex, applied for housing tax credits with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs on June 30.

The proposed location was 12220 Walnut Park Crossing.
