The parking lot at 24th and San Antonio?

EDIT: This was in reference to the ABJ saying LVC was building two 400 footers in WC.

Yep, the one the Business Journal article was referring to. It's a shame, 400 feet in West Campus would for sure show up on the skyline from my neighborhood, that is if Spring and The Bowie didn't block the view of it. I could see the crane for Waterloo, especially at night with its red light. 400 feet up there would be quite a skyscraper outpost on the skyline.

I think it's only a matter of time before we see heights increased for West Campus.

Here's a friendly suggestion to the powers that be: maybe we could just stop limiting the height of buildings within a stone's throw of the CBD.

Whats that? I hear knocking at my door . . . it's the police, no something else. Look's like a task force of middle aged white women in riot gear. They say I have to come with them, I hear mention of a NIMBY gulag in cedar park. I don't know how much longer I can-

I got email today saying that the Smoothie King has permanently closed and it's showing the same thing on google maps.

The Smoothie King is where the 300' Court of Three Sisters tower will be built. The 305' Arconia tower is proposed for the surface lot across the street. There has been some confusion due to addressing on City permits about which tower was going on which site. Adding to that is the fact that it's the same intersection and the same developer (LV).
