Hey... sorry I don't remeber what project that was in refernece to!

It was called The Riley, was being built on 4th street next to the gay clubs, supposed to be an event center or something? two stories.

Still under construction. It's moving very slowly. I'm not sure it's still going to look exactly like the rendering. It's tough to tell at this point.

Wow, super slow!

From my office today.

:previous: A-Loft?

Also has one elevation has no curtainwall. Is there a future development proposed next to this?

^It's possible that there could be, though, there isn't anything planned that we know of. City fire code prohibits windows on a facade that abuts another lot.

I had some time to kill so I walked around catching Pokemon and snapping some pics of developments. Here's Seaholm looking all snazzy.

They painted this wall. It looks much better now.

Boiler Nine restaurant. Really want to go to this place. The upstairs part looks really cool.

The real reason I went over there. The new Austin Public Library looks to be nearing completion. It turned out better than I expected. Especially the front side (facing Cesar Chavez). Grand opening is in November. Check out that "art wall".

This lawn looks really sexy now. It will be awesome when they start holding events here.

Agreed - this looks so much better than before.

They ripped out the trees, though. :(

I was wondering if they did...I couldn't remember what was there and didn't have time to go back to previous photos. That is a shame, but I guess they wanted to highlight he artwork.

Looks nice!!

The new Restoration Hardware for The Domain will be 4 stories. Excited for this!

Here's 2016 Rev. 9 of my list of Austin's tallest active projects that are at least 100' tall (or appear to be based on available information.) I usually just post these on Urban Planet, but I'll start posting my updates here. There are five status types:

U/C - Cement has been poured

Site Prep - Dirt is moving or utility work is underway

Site Demo - At least one structure on the site has been or is being demolished

Proposed - A specific project has been announced or has had building permit(s) filed with specific structure information

Planned - A project has been announced or has had building permit(s) filed but without specific structure information, more visionary in nature

Projects highlighted in green (as in go) are underway with financing in place. These can include projects with a Site Prep or Site Demo status.

Projects highlighted in yellow have been completed during the current calendar year and have been removed from the active projects count.

Thanks, ATX!

x-posting this from the Update Thread in the Austin forum because it's fucking cool:

The rendering was released today for the 30-story Marriott at Cesar Chavez. The article also revealed the rendering and size (11 floors) of the hotel that's planned for MLK Boulevard & San Antonio Street near UT.

After 2-year delay, work starts on Hotel ZaZa in downtown Austin

Nice. It's good to finally have official word from the developers. It's one of my favorite projects, due to the sort of neoclassical design elements and the use of that old facade. Gives it an authentic Texas feel.

My god buildings in Austin are getting prettier and prettier!
