Austin | RiverSouth (425 Riverside) | 234 Feet | 15 Floors | Complete

[The ATX]

We've known about this project since last year, but it's worthy of it's own thread now. This is the Hooters site. It's good to see projects like this south of the river.

Here's the site plan. It was posted in the update thread a while back. The attachments have a lot of info - a better word may be minutiae.

It reminds me of the Jawa transport. This looks like it'll be a pretty sweet building.

[drummer]

Man, I like that one. I think it'd do great on an oddly-shaped lot as well. If my interpretation of things is correct, it appears that this one is facing S. 1st....is that correct?

[Jdawgboy]

Haha I was thinking the same exact thing.

[wwmiv]

21k sq.ft. of retail. That's good to hear.

[the Genral]

All glass, 21k retail space, nice shape, great location, winner. Taking over a year just getting through the process to get to ground breaking, per the AAS today, not so winning.

[lzppjb]

It's pretty, but it's going to make the traffic there even worse. Maybe someday it'll house a bunch of car-less people.

Unfortunately that will probably be the case until Austin folks wake up and realize that mass-transit is necessary in so many ways.

[austlar1]

It's pretty, but it's going to make the traffic there even worse. Maybe someday it'll house a bunch of car-less people.

What large new building put up anywhere in Central Austin is not going to make for increased traffic? Don't be like those NIMBYS up in Bouldin who are already having a cow about this or any other project for that area. All these new projects do is make the single family homes and property in Bouldin more valuable and more desirable.

[The ATX]

It's pretty, but it's going to make the traffic there even worse. Maybe someday it'll house a bunch of car-less people.

My first thought was did you move into the Bouldin neighborhood? :) This project only has 10 residential units so it can't house too many people with or without cars.

[H2O]

All glass, 21k retail space, nice shape, great location, winner. Taking over a year just getting through the process to get to ground breaking, per the AAS today, not so winning.

I predict ground breaking is at least two years away.

[futures]

I love this! What an amazing improvement to one of the most ugly lots in town. I hope this kicks off more development in the South Shore District.

Also, I live in Bouldin. Everyone I know in the neighborhood loathes the hooters sitting there now. Yes, it will slightly increase traffic around the neighborhood, but so does every building in and around downtown. Fighting development like this is not only selfish, but it's a loser's battle. This development will happen.

I'll be showing up to BCNA meetings to vocally support this project.

[the Genral]

I predict ground breaking is at least two years away.

Maybe not quite that long, if they get the green light, and it takes about a year, I would think they would have all their ducks lined up so they can get started and would want to get started right afterward. I do hate waiting for ground breaking on projects I like, and I do like this one. I'm not getting any younger. :oldlady:

I always get the feeling that when opposition arises to something like this, it's from a very loud minority. I'd bet that surveys would show that, in most cases, most of the people in the neighborhood are okay with it or simply ambivalent/unaware of it.

This project needs PUD zoning. Despite the South Shore Central Framework Plan, it will remain controversial with Bouldin and their ANC allies. The zoning process alone could take a year. They will then need to get site plan approval, which will likely take at least a year as well. They could start site plan right away while zoning is pending, but if the zoning does prove to be controversial, Stream will be reluctant to invest too much money in the site plan process until they know they have their zoning. That is why I am predicting at least two years. How many recent projects (with appropriate zoning) broke ground within two years of announcement? With the exception of White Lodging hotels, not very many.

Well maybe it's the angle, but that looks a lot worse, and generally more plain than the other renderings we've seen....

[the Genral]

Well maybe it's the angle, but that looks a lot worse, and generally more plain than the other renderings we've seen....

Its definitely the angle. The interesting angles are still there, just not as noticeable because of the reflective glass and glare. This is going to be the sexiest building in that part of town imo.

[KevinFromTexas]

It's the same. The balcony in the upper left corner is still there, and the angled facade is still there (note the difference in the reflection on it). This also seems to show some kind of overrun on the roof, either a lattice-type structure or a glass screen wall above the roofline. This is really going to be one of the nicest new buildings we'll have. I think it's really modern.

[Sigaven]

Finally something to hide that disgrace 422 At The Lake at least a little bit.

[starboy92]

It looks like the angles create a shaded overhang for the sidewalk?
I cant wait for this one

[The ATX]

They're drilling core samples on the site today.

[The ATX]

A permit was filed today to close lanes around the site for utility work. This is my second favorite mid-rise. SXSW's HQ is my favorite.

Wow it has 4 Retail spots. I really like this one.

[drummer]

Yeah, it really seems like the did a great job with the footprint of the ground floor. I also like the angle fronting South First. It's a nice touch.

[We vs us]

I like it, too. I like the shape, I like retail, I love that bulge in the curtain wall there. Totally cool project. I really hope it finally gets the nod.

[futures]

Love it! The retail/restaurant space on the corner of Riverside and S 1st would be a great spot for a cafe. There's a shocking lack of walkable cafe options for the thousands of people walking around town lake and auditorium shores.

Yeah, hopefully that will continue to change with more development in that area. This is one area that can use as much ground-level retail/restaurants/etc. as possible.

I saw that too. The Planning Commission looks to finally be voting on the PUD at their next meeting - Tue., 02/27 - barring another last minute punt to the next month's meeting. Staff is recommending approval, and this may just be a consent item. Since it's a PUD the City Council has the final say. So this is far from a done deal. Long live Hooters and a dirt lot in the middle of the city.

[KevinFromTexas]

That seems like such an odd place for a Hooters. I always think of them more like Texas Roadhouse or Logan's Roadhouse - what I like to call highway food. The only time I've eaten at Hooters was at the one in San Antonio on the riverwalk with my brother, and at that Hooters on Barton Springs with a friend and fellow skyscraper nerd from Chicago who said he has a tradition of eating at Hooters in every city he visits.

[The ATX]

This passed the Planning Commission and moves to City Council. There was a comment made about the approval process taking another six months as it moves to City Council.

It used to make sense when downtown was smaller and the South Shore didn't really exist as a concept beyond a couple of hotels right on the water.

There was a Bennigan's catacorner from there with Aussie's across the street it was sort of a crappy sports bar area. Most of South Congress and Riverside was strip mall style junk.

They passed the first round of PUD approval.

‘Snoopy PUD’ wins first-round approval
https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2018/04/snoopy-pud-wins-first-round-approval/

Council approved a complicated set of Planned Unit Development regulations at their March 22 meeting for the piece of property at Riverside Drive and South First Street currently occupied by a Hooters and a surface parking lot.

As Planning and Zoning Assistant Director Jerry Rusthoven explained to Council, “We have renamed this PUD the Snoopy PUD,” because Charles Schulz, the creator of the cartoon “Peanuts,” once owned the property. It is directly across the street from One Texas Center.

The PUD zoning won unanimous approval on first reading, with Council members Ellen Troxclair and Leslie Pool absent. At Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo’s request, the public hearing will remain open so citizens can comment when the item comes back for second and third reading.

Plans change for waterfront high-rise on 'Snoopy PUD,' which will replace Hooters near downtown Austin
Plan comes as office market booms

By Marissa Luck – Staff Writer, Austin Business Journal
Apr 12, 2018, 8:02am CDT Updated 2 hours ago

Nicknamed the “Snoopy PUD,” the proposed planned unit development made it through the first reading at City Council March 22. After some tweaking, it’s expected to again be up for Council consideration April 26 for a second reading, according to city staff.

Under the proposal, the floor-to-area ratio — which determines how much square feet of space can be built on the property — would also bump up to 6:1 from 2:1 currently, Moore said.

Originally Stream had planned to build a 275,5025-square foot office tower with 21,045 square feet of retail space and 10 residential units, according to city zoning documents.

However, plans have changed and now there are no residential units involved and the office square footage has grown to 289,000 square feet, Moore said.

[The ATX]

Finally. The creation of the Snoopy (I prefer Hooter's) PUD passed on third and final reading a few minutes ago.

[Jdawgboy]

Seeing as how it will be known as the Snoopy PUD, they need to put a 20 foot tall statue of Snoopy with an 8 foot accompanying Woodstock somewhere on the premises. It only makes sense...:tup:

[KevinFromTexas]

And some Jawa statues, too.

The site plan is posted for the 09/06 AULCC meeting. The elevations are on pages 57-60. The height of the rooftop mechanical and lowest point at ground level are not listed. So the overall height has to be estimated. But 215' seems about right. The start of construction is listed as 10/01.

That's about what I got on the height.

The elevations note that 1/16 of an inch equals 1 foot. If you look, the lowest elevation is the northwest corner of the lot. At that point, it drops 3 feet below the baseline 100 foot number. So, the main roof height, which appears to be the slab height, should be 197 feet. I measured the mechanical penthouse to be 19 feet above that line, so the overall height I got is 216 feet.

Either way, if this is a foot over 209 feet that'll make it the tallest south of the river - beating The Catherine.

We'll go with 216' then. I just guessed; you spent some time on determining the number. :)

Maybe the Hooters could take one of the retail spots.

So 10/01, we are talking another 2 and a half+ years before they start. That's a long time to wait.

I'm such a sucker for panoramas like this.

So many things to note -- not the least of which is how undeveloped the south shore really is. So many surface parking lots left!

Also -- that north shore view is going to get so much more bulky in the next couple of years . . . it's really amazing!

That is a great shot. But I have to admit, the surface parking lots are not as offensive as 801 Barton Springs, and the disjointed Long Center. The gleaming glass on 425 Riverside offers some architectural relief to the south shore area. It pleases me. The 2019 start does not however.

The site plan still hasn't been approved either. They made a big media push late last year as if the groundbreaking was imminent. But it may be a little while yet. Although I think groundbreaking was planned for this Spring which is still possible.

On a serious note they should really consider a rooftop restaurant or bar/lounge. Would be the best public viewing spot. Sure the Hyatt has top floor event space but it's not really open to the public.

[AusTxDevelopment]

Some of you may know this already, but a great downtown view is from the men's room at the Headliners Club on top of Chase Tower. The view from the urinals is amazing, particularly at night. No, I am not kidding.

The mens restroom at the Hotel Century Southern in Tokyo is my favorite view of that city as well. It's hard to tell people "go to this kind of crappy lobby bar and pee if you really wanna see the city at its best"

At some point *some* building in Austin is going to do a rooftop space. I know the Line hotel has one coming, but that's not going to have great views. Same with Boiler Nine.

My money is at some point in time that Hyatt ballroom will get (at least partially) turned into a cocktail lounge/restaurant.

I drove by yesterday and noticed that the signage has been removed from the building.

Yup--all the signs are gone, the B-cycle station has been removed, feels like it's about to go. Bye-bye, Hooters!

All those booby-doos out of work, I wonder if Twin Peaks is hiring??? All for a good cause. I used to eat at the prior restaurant that was there but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it before it became Hooters. It was basically a seafood place I believe.

It was Pelican's Wharf. Here's a Statesman article from 2011 about the lot.

Ah yes...thanks guys. I thought the place was pretty cool with decent food. I remember beating crab claws with a wooden mallet and coating the wall next to me in crab meat. Cool find with the matchbooks zrx299.

I used to do my fantasy drafts at that Hooters in college. One of my buddies was dating a waitress there and we got cheap beer.

Nothing about it will be missed.
