My other question, also moot now, Is if the space could have been better used at the Libray ....then maybe combined with other public uses? I think it is sage to assume that there were serious $ discussions about all of this in deciding a plan that would keep the building and not have it be a $ burden on the city. |
Seaholm SUCKS
Don't get me wrong... I love the buildings.... but the real estate agents and crap hustlers that wanted to turn that space into an office really really suck....
I mean... comon' It's almost as if someone from Houston or Dallas moved to Austin and said, "offices are great here!" Arggggghhhhh:hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell: |

I really just don't get why they decided to do a 99-year office lease. Were they really that desperate to get the deal done? Maybe it's hard to find retailers who want to be shut up in this big, old concrete hulk of a building with no flashy sign and which is not easy to access?
In my mind, the power plant should be full of souvenir shops and museum exhibits. Allegedly, there will be some exhibits inside showcasing the history of the power plant and the area and Austin, so I think people are overracting a little bit in that regard, but it's still not what it could be. But it's still a good development, overall. |
Seaholm....
Oh yeah Ahealy....Seaholm is the titties! And they are ruining it with offices!!:yuck::yuck::yuck::yuck::yuck::yuck::yuck::yuck::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::hell::runaway:

I am worried about the green WTP project though.... |
Yeah, I'm not worried about Seaholm being offices. As long as they keep the awesome architecture, I'm fine with it. I also want the sign to stay. A market would have been cool and all, but it's not some deal-breaker for me.

You know what I would have been cool with? If the tenant of the Seaholm office space had been someone cool like SXSW or Google or something, because I assume they would make it look cool in there and create a pretty cool environment. I hope it's not anyone awful.

Does anyone know what the red crane near 183 and 360 is about?

You are so right. Those new hotels remind me of downtown Wichita Falls. And this is with apologies to Wichita Falls!
