But they still have the queso fountain, right?

You know, I'd be okay if the slide was an inflatable only on game days. But only if it goes into a queso fountain.

Will they just change the name of this thing to Salsa Verde Square Tortilla Chip already?

I was noticing those protruded window bays. A few things, it looks like there's a staircase leading down the one on the right side of the building, which would be very cool to walk on. And it looks like those protruded window bays are glass on the ends, too, meaning that they effectively overhang the face of the building, sort of like the glass floor attraction at the Sears Tower in Chicago. I don't see a glass floor in these, but the view still should be quite good, and it's an interesting design feature.

I think it's important to note that the approved elevations for Verde Square have not been released as of today. So we don't know if the newly discovered renderings are the final version.

Yes I agree!

I find it hard to believe they would change the location of buildings on the site plan at the last minute. That is the kind of thing that has numerous repercussions on other elements of the site plan and would usually require a withdrawal and resubmittal of the plan. Who would want to spend a year or more in the approval process only to start over again? And if they did make such a significant last minute change, how did it get approved so quickly?

Nice view!

62 East Ave 684’
This little infill project would have been the tallest in Austin prior to the Independent’s completion in 2019. :slob:

I'll have to look it up again - but, with this tower (plus The Modern & Wilson), Austin might have all of the Top 5 tallest all-residential towers west of the Mississippi River.

I like this one for this area!

Nice height for West Campus. Do we know where exactly it's going to be located?

Also announced today: the new long-awaited Texas football practice facility. Also, if you look closely in the first image, you can see there's a white building behind it that's yet to be announced (but probably something really being planned for).

The practice facility construction will start in 2023 and shouldn't take long to complete as it's not a very complicated structure. Link for more info.

The School of Social Work is in this location right now. Maybe that's being moved to that aforementioned white building.

FYI...this is not the final design. It's preliminary imaging to kick-start the fundraising.

If you are speaking about the "white" building to the immediate southwest of the new Moody Center (east of this new football facility) - that's the new basketball training facility (which is already open). The School of Social Work is moving to the space occupied by Dobie Mall.

Whats the location for this? That is a really good looking building.

What I read is that Social Work is moving to McCombs and McCombs is moving to Dobie.

McCombs? The entire business school? I definitely think not. McCombs encompasses far more SF than the School of Social Work now. There is no way they're moving one of the best business schools on the planet to a small, refurbished student mall and replace the space with the School of Social Work.
