It's still going the through the approval process. Last May the developer was quoted in the Austin Business Journal saying that they still planned to break ground on Tower 5C and their BBVA (PNC?) Tower in January despite the pandemic. But that won't happen because both projects still appear to be months away from site plan approval.

This large photo from redditor u/DCS_Sport on r/Austin shows the depth of Austin's urban core very well.

It shows more of our urban core than any single photo I’ve seen in awhile and it still omits about 1/3 of our urban core north of the river and 1/2 of what is south of the river.

That's a good example of how how I-35 influenced the North/South development of the skyline.

I've never noticed it before, but in that photo I can really see how similar Austin's skyline is to Midtown Atlanta. A clear north-south corridor, a forested single-family grid to the east, and a developed corridor stretching far to the east (6th street in Austin, Ponce in Atlanta).

I could see that comparison!

Thanks for posting. Good to see updates there.

Oracle has moved their HQ from Redwood City, CA to Austin per their 11/30/20 SEC filing.

EDIT: Oracle's CEO announced the move to Austin on CNBC.

^^^More to come...

:)

Nice. Facebook could be next with their search for 1 million Sq Ft of downtown Austin space.

Plus, (potentially) the rest of Musk's endeavors.

Gov Abbott was just interviewed on CNBC, and he said he and Elon have a talk every week. Fingers crossed.

I think there is a 99% chance that Tesla will move to Austin.

I'm starting to think that's the most likely case as well.

I thought Tesla was already moving here.

The discussion above is related to the corporate headquarters. They're building the factory on 130 and Elon Musk has moved to Austin, but the headquarters hasn't formally landed anywhere to my knowledge.

First look: Generational Commercial Properties putting offices, restaurants, rooftop decks next to Zach Theatre
Developer pledges to create 'healthiest building in Austin'

By Kathryn Hardison – Staff Writer, Austin Business Journal
a day ago

After years of planning, Generational Commercial Properties has received the green light to build a high-rise office building just across the river from downtown Austin.

The Austin-based development firm will construct 195,000 square feet of office space and nearly 14,000 square feet of ground-floor retail at 218 S. Lamar Blvd., currently home to a closed Schlotzsky's restaurant. The building will rise next to the Zach Theatre, less than a mile from Zilker Park.

In a Dec. 11 interview, Llamas said construction is expected to start next summer with buildout estimated for 2023.

The seven-story building, dubbed Zilker Point, will also feature space for retail and restaurants, five levels of underground parking, rooftop decks that highlight the view of downtown Austin, a fitness center, a 1,000-square-foot art gallery and a 5,000-square-foot public plaza.
