Oh cool! The Arrive hotel in Palm Springs is great...I was just there, in fact. Terrific news for Austin!

I still like it, the first design was better though.

wwmiv Jan 28, 2017 9:29 AM

I like this version much better, actually. It has nice details. For instance, I love the black panels, and that they aren't all the same length coming down the one wall. I love the variegated window widths, too, on those two sides.

MichaelB Jan 28, 2017 8:46 PM

would have loved the detail of the new version with the form of the old.

New multimillion-dollar amphitheater unveiled for downtown Austin

Quote:

Aher downtown Austin park is getting a facelift. Thanks to a $15 million grant from the Moody Foundation, Waterloo Park will soon be home to an outdoor amphitheater, which will host concerts, community events, and the performing arts.

The Moody Amphitheater, designed by Thomas Phifer & Partners, will be a "unique steel and translucent stage-house structure" with a great lawn large enough for 5,000 people. The revamped 11-acre park will also feature gardens, play areas, and 1.5 miles of trails. Construction is slated to begin this year and wrap up in 2019.

The park's makeover is part of the Waller Creek Conservancy's plan to transform the downtown corridor, connecting Waterloo Park to Lady Bird Lake with 37 acres of trails and prime green space. Dubbed the Waller Creek Park, the project includes updates to Palm Park, new public art installations, and more community events like the annual Creek Show.

‘Coolness Factor’ Draws Developers to East Austin, Tex.

Quote:

Originally Posted by NY Times
AUSTIN, Tex. — About five years ago, a young bartender in downtown Austin told Josh Delk that she was renting a house on the other side of nearby Interstate 35, in the lower part of a rambling East Austin neighborhood that stretches from the Colorado River north to 12th Street.

The neighborhood was perceived to be a place to avoid after dark, so the fact that she rode her bike to and from work, often in the wee hours, was eye-opening. At the time, Mr. Delk, a vice president with the commercial real estate firm Transwestern Development Company, was overseeing the construction of apartments in a trendy area south of the river and was courting her generation.

“I said, ‘You’re my demographic,’” recalled Mr. Delk, who had witnessed fits and starts of development in East Austin over the years. “And I thought, ‘Has East Austin finally arrived?’”

He and other developers quickly discovered the answer. Bar and restaurant operators were expanding downtown’s vibrant Sixth Street entertainment district into East Austin. Millennial renters and single-family home rehabbers were moving in and gentrifying the predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. The Lance Armstrong Foundation’s move into a converted East Austin warehouse had also generated interest among creative companies looking for new locations.
