This must be down by now. I wish Hanover and Greystar (Symphony Square) would stop being so quiet about their projects.

I get it though; there really isn't an upside for rental groups to promote what they are doing early in the process.

From this afternoon.

Yeah, I know. But as a skyscraper nerd I really wish they would.

Greystar is the developer behind at least three 300'+ towers in Austin that are either approved or will be any day now. How many people know that? Shhhhhhhhhh....

Here's one taken a little later in the day as the remaining structure is being demo'ed.

Guess that answers the question as to whether any part of the old warehouse would be preserved. Bummer.

Quick transition from demo to site prep.

The ATX · #**149** Posted **Apr 9, 2021, 1:24 AM**

That is awesome! That would indicate that this is underway. There would not have been site prep immediately after demo otherwise.

Had to look back to remind myself what's going here...

This is from a while ago - any changes of which anyone is aware?

You know, eventually that Hyatt Place will go away -- a too-short relic of the early teens -- and we'll lose that awesome brown step pattern that the Hanover continues with those parking panels.

*sigh*

Ha! I hadn't noticed that before.

Completely agree. That's on my personal target list for redevelopment. Needs to go, stat.

That parking garage is or was for the convention center. I would be wondering if with the shake up that's coming for the convention center if part of the plan includes redeveloping that garage.

You don’t think it’s probably here to stay for awhile (30-50 years)?

TBH, you’re probably right. Hotels have a bad habit of overstaying their welcome, even after umpteen rounds of renovations and/or brand changes. The thing that gives me pause is how valuable the land is, and will continue to become. At some point I’d guess that it would make sense to knock it down and build a tower with a Hyatt Place AND 300 condo units. Or office. Etc.

FWIW I feel the same way about the Courtyard a couple blocks away. A super valuable half-block property that’s only about 10 stories tall. You could quintuple the height and make millions on condos with a park view and great transit accessibility and still have a Courtyard included in the build.

Agreed. It looks atrocious.
