What a lot of the new buildings in Austin are doing is putting an attached garage directly behind a 4 + 1 mixed use development - the street-facing facade is the apartments and shops, and the garage is directly behind (and usually attached) to the apartments. You basically never see them.

They put it in the middle usually. It’s literally called the “Texas Doughnut” — a 5 over 1 surround a parking garage.
