CIP Helps Business Displaced by I-35 Expansion

May 31, 2024

CIP is proud to have had Robby Eaves, CCIM and Phil Morris represent Escuelita del Alma in securing their new location amidst the challenges posed by the I-35 expansion project. This Spanish immersion daycare and preschool, a cornerstone of our community, has faced displacement not once but twice due to urban development.


Escuelita del Alma's dedication to providing a nurturing and culturally rich environment for our children is truly inspiring. Despite the upheaval, their commitment to preserving the heritage and language of their students remains steadfast.

The I-35 expansion impacts over 100 properties, including many in environmentally sensitive areas. Navigating this complex relocation process has highlighted the resilience of the Escuelita community. Parents, staff, and supporters have rallied together, ensuring that the school continues to thrive.


As Austin grows, it's crucial that we balance development with the preservation of our cultural institutions. I look forward to seeing Escuelita del Alma flourish in its new home on Bluestein Drive, continuing to offer invaluable educational experiences to our children.
