The Austin Geriatric Center broke ground on the Rebekah Baines Johnson Senior Center May 1.

The project, located on the north shore of Lady Bird Lake at 21 Waller St., Austin, includes a renovation of the existing 16-story tower and the addition of a five-story wraparound building, which will include 279 new units of affordable housing for seniors.

The work is expected to be completed by June 2022.
