Wow, a pretty wacky design.

Here's my favorite rendering with the building in the middle of wilderness with an unfamiliar skyline in the distance. Please note the power lines are included.

Or wacky fun design that SA needs. :-)

Hahaha. These kinds of renderings are often outsourced to companies in China and elsewhere and the artists have no clue about context. There is an apartment building in Austin under construction and the renderings for it show mountains and an ocean in the background

That’s the one I mentioned previously that have pretty sexy renderings.

Broadway 7600 has two cranes up.

Txdev, is this the one you said had renderings that made you react a specific way?

JACKinBeantown · #**5908** Posted **Jan 25, 2020, 7:47 PM**

I found a webcam pointed at downtown SA! Not a spectacular angle, but pretty good.

Well I can’t wait to see this development. Did it look particularly tall compared to the rest of the area?

Txdev · #**5910** Posted **Jan 26, 2020, 11:10 PM**

Haha, yes.

To be clear, not talking about the one with the fake Chinese renderings.

Does anyone have any more information on this development?

Best I can tell from the rendering, this is the location.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sa...!4d-98.4936282

The parking garage sure is fugly, and if this is indeed the location, it would be a shame to tear down what's there:
https://www.google.com/maps/@29.4242...7i13312!8i6656
and replace it with this.

Sadsalmon · #**5913** Posted **Jan 27, 2020, 9:16 PM**

It appears to be at Soledad and E. covenant.
I believe the parking garage belongs to the Wyndham Hotel. It is a hideous garage, yet it is an existing garage.

Actually, the location is the rendering is the Korova site on Martin St.

You are correct, that parking garage already exists and belongs to Wyndham.

It’s a great location for something like this. A glass hotel in the actual center of the CBD.

sirkingwilliam · #**5918** Posted **Jan 27, 2020, 9:34 PM**

This is the Wyndham garage.

Sigaven · #**5919** Posted **Jan 27, 2020, 9:46 PM**

There's a cute little 1 story building on that lot right now, but I don't think it's that architecturally significant to be considered a loss. The other building on this site doesn't look to be architecturally significant at all.
