I definitely won't miss their old building. I was riding my bike on the sidewalk one night just sort of skimming along taking photos. There's a raised concrete portion of the walkway that I didn't see. :D It's like 4 inches, so I did feel it. :haha: I was ok and so was my bike, but I was sure somewhere there was an engineer who barely passed his classes. :haha:

The design is quite boring. But, at least that site will be more dense than it is today.

The FAA has approved the 1,034' height of the 98 Red River Tower. This would be the tallest building in Texas.

Holy smokes, whats the chance of that getting built or is it just a liminal proposal?

I would say pretty good. The same developers (Lincoln & Kairoi) are currently building our U/C next new tallest 6xG at 883'. This tower is being built on the site of the approved three tower Waller Park Place project. They are doing a revision of that site plan which should take less time than filing a new site plan. Lincoln also is developing the 710' Republic Tower.

Yes.

drummer Jun 20, 2021 1:36 AM

Agreed. It'll rise just to the left of Frost from that vantage point.

kingkirbythe.... Jun 20, 2021 6:55 AM

It’ll be just to the left of the austonian from this view.

migol24 Jun 20, 2021 5:38 PM

Yeah, I just get the idea that 6x will still dominate the skyline more than what 98 Red River will, especially from this perspective, despite it being the taller one. Or even coming down from South Congress, you won't even be able to see 98 Red River.

KevinFromTexas Jun 20, 2021 10:45 PM

The elevation changes are going to play a role, but I think 98 Red River will still be a monster.

98 Red River - 1,034 feet tall - site ranges from 450 to 465 feet above sea level. Total height above mean sea level - 1,489 feet.

6 X Guadalupe - 883 feet tall - site ranges from 477 feet to 497 feet above sea level. Total height above mean sea level - 1,372 feet.

So, even though 98 Red River will be 151 feet taller than 6 X Guadalupe, it'll only appear 117 feet taller than 6 X Guadalupe when viewed from a distance. I think the difference is small enough that most people won't notice.

Agreed. I was trying to make that point to a friend of mine. But I didn't have the elevation details to explain it.

It's pretty obvious looking at some of these photos just how much 6x will stand out, that 98 Red River will not be lonely up there.

10 Years and One New Skyline Later, Waterloo Park Returns on August 14

Quote:

After closing to the public in 2011 for work expected at the time to last until 2015 but extended to comical length by the construction woes of the Waller Creek Flood Control Tunnel, followed by the development of a plan for the 11-acre park’s renovation by the Waterloo Greenway Conservancy, the single largest greenspace in downtown Austin is finally, actually, really reopening for real on Saturday, August 14.

I thought that was the plan too, although I think some of them may be in CVCs?

All the capital work is outlined here
https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...181566&page=22

That said I believe those garages, like the park are subject to capital view. So nothing tall will go there. Thus nothing capitalistically viable.

I believe all of them are in CVC's - that's why Waterloo Greenway had to redesign the amphitheater roof after construction had already begun on "The Tulip" (which is what I think it was called). The old design was too tall - blocked the lower portion of a CVC.

clubtokyo Jun 24, 2021 2:33 PM

Oh wow, had no idea they had to change height at Waterloo park.

I could see a cool art museum replacing those two garages in front of waterloo.

There is, the first Ruckus is right beside where 3.0 is being built.

Stonelake's 37-story tower at old Carmelo's site

Quote:

Stonelake Capital Partners has released preliminary details of a planned downtown tower at the site of the former Carmelo's Italian restaurant — land it acquired in a December foreclosure auction.

"Stonelake Managing Partner Kenneth Aboussie confirmed in a July 15 email that the company intends to construct a 37-story residential high-rise on the site with 250 units. Stonelake has tabbed Gensler's Austin office to design the building, while GarzaEMC is on board as the civil engineer. The working name for the project is Stonelake | 5RR."
