“The Future of Culture,
Commerce & Community”

Jump On It Metaplex is designed to rebuild what was lost — and reimagine what’s possible. A first-of-its-kind cultural and economic ecosystem, the Metaplex will unite a sports complex, school, tech & film studio, shopping plaza, amphitheater, farm and housing — creating a self-sustaining community where culture, creativity, and opportunity intersect. Austin’s Black economy has never fully formed, however, the potential infrastructure, talent, and history exists! What’s missing is a unifying, Black-owned center of gravity — a space that brings those elements together. That’s exactly where the Jump On It Metaplex will make history.

The Problem

  • Displacement and gentrification: Longtime Black Austin residents and businesses have been priced out, shrinking any potential physical footprint of a Black economy.
  • Lack of centralized space: There’s no single, large-scale Black-owned commercial or cultural district anchoring the economy — yet.
  • Austin has one of the highest levels of income inequality in Texas — and that gap is especially stark for Black residents.
  • While Austin celebrates diversity publicly, Black culture often gets underfunded or sidelined in arts, media, and city planning

How It Affects Black Youth:
They’re separated from the community fabric that once supported cultural identity, mentorship, and belonging. Many grow up without strong cultural institutions, neighborhood elders, or nearby family ties. This leads to a loss of identity, cultural disconnection, and diminished access to opportunities. These are the key ingredients that lead to unsuccessful life paths.

The Solution
