From what I've gathered the Conrad brand is no longer a part of this development. There is still a tower coming - however details are sparse on scope and timeline. I think this is one we'll need to be patient on for the time being.

Dang. So we lost the Conrad and Ritz. Ugh!

Well that’s depressing. Would’ve been a stellar fit there.

Any sense about whether a hotel is still part of the general plan?

I mean one or both may be in the mix down the road. Particularly for the Ritz, I always thought it was a bit of a pipe dream at the time, given that there's no way anything new could start construction there until the Travis is completed, and likely Waterline as well.

Assuming something is absolutely going in that spot, I'd expect it to be constructed alongside Phase 2 of Waterline, with a start date closer to 2026-2027. For nearly any hotel brand, it'd be tough to sign on now just to sit and wait for 5 years.

Ritz isn't fully dead, more indefinitely postponed. There will still be a second tower coming to that site, and as another poster mentioned, no work will begin until Travis I is complete.

Drove by the site this morning and there were a couple of Bartlett Tree Service bucket trucks hacking away at the trees for what it's worth.

Something is going to be built there. I wouldn't be surprised to see the site Demo'ed and cleared before the wait begins.

Looks like this one has been axed completely as the land is now for sale.

Not surprising at this point, but bad news none the less. That was a quality project.

Boo!

Is Intracorp not bullish on Austin anymore?

Not looking good for the downtown Austin Conrad Hotel/Condo tower plan.

Worth noting that the parcel footprint has increased. It now includes Gus’s Fried Chicken. It’s now the entire half block.

Another supertall? :shrug:

I mean… there’s room for it.

Ah yes, a new parking lot and abandoned retail in the meantime.

The parking lot wasn't even permitted. Intracorp's LLC was sent a code violation from the City today for not having a permit for the lot.

Demo completed for whatever the future of this site is:

I take it they found a buyer. It’s no longer listed on Loopnet.

According to Travis Co. property records, the LLC that owns the property is still connected to Intracorp.

Nothing to report

But just passed by this for the first time today since demo... it looks A LOT better and appealing now that it's gone. Maybe just in time for SXSW and the people visiting town? Hopefully it gets activated
