Lady Bird Lake area among possible sites for Erwin Center replacement
Chad Swiatecki
Staff Writer- Austin Business Journal There appear to be four possible sites in the greater Austin area that could accommodate the replacement for the University of Texas’ Frank Erwin Center, with land currently occupied by the Austin American-Statesman on Congress Avenue appearing to be the most hospitable location. http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/bl...for-erwin.html Capacity of 25,000 and costing north of $200 million...... |

I really like those new Waller Center renderings. They put it within its real surroundings, even going as far as including the parking lot next door and the construction barricade thingamajigs that are on the site. To me, this is a sign that they're serious about this project. The blue glass on the second rendering looks really cool and I like the way that the retail runs parallel down Cesar Chavez now.
Consider me much more encouraged by this project. Edit: I just realized that they're calling it Waller Park Place now. |

The Fairmont will have a heckuva impact driving northbound i35 as you bank that sharp turn before Riverside.

What a cluster of high density that area will be if all three get built....Trinity Place, The Fairmont and Waller Park Place.....Wow.

New 7th & Congress aka Aloft Austin Downtown. I'm x-posting from the Austin subforum because we need to post new renderings and announcements here since it's a more visible/high-traffic forum.
FWIW, I doubt they're worried about the market considering they're such a huge hotel chain. It's probably more about market participation and brand recognition for them than anything else. It helps to get hotels in popular vacation destinations. People who are familiar with your brand/name are more likely to stay at your hotel when they go on other vacations. http://i.imgur.com/QeLGOWj.png http://i.imgur.com/YsmN66u.png http://i.imgur.com/IcGtLlRh.jpg |
Loving Austin right now! That hotel is a gem! Share some hotels with Houston lol

That is just lovely. Does anyone think it will really be (looks like) 29 stories tall? Thanks for posting it here Syndic. The color and some of the architectural features make me think of the design for the new Westin on 5th.
