I noticed that the western end of the parking lot at 5th and Nueces recently vacated by the little shoal creek relocation project was been patched with asphalt and power washed today. I wonder if the construction that was supposed to start this month has been delayed. You wouldn't think they would patch something that was going to be ripped up soon.

That sounds a lot like a shameless plug. :rolleyes:

I do apologize if it appears that I am, however, I am quite the opposite :cool:

the fence has gone up around half the Lamar plaza and the drive through thundercloud is being torn down good bye thundercloud that location always got my order wrong >.< and that Mexican restaurant not sad to see it go to be honest

aren't all thundercloud employees always high, anyways?

Well for sure the way I tip them! LOL!

....I love my Thundercloud! ( Lavaca)

I once applied to the one on 12th st (?) the location a block away from ACC Rio Grande and this was literally the question they asked me as if it was a prerequisite. The guy asked me if I smoked... and I said no then he said that I probably won't get the job. I don't know if he was being facetious or not, but all I know is that I didn't get the job.

Quick pano of the Marriott site this morning:

I agree - I think the pavilion, and the main building itself, are really nice. That's why I think the "blast walls" are so unfortunate. And yeah, I understand they're there for security reasons. I just wish they could have done something nicer with them architecturally/design-wise, instead of leaving them as bare slabs of unfinished concrete.

Would have been a nice contrast if they covered those walls with vines like they have at street level on the Monarch parking garage.

They could still add vines if they wanted to. Maybe if they get enough people asking about that they will.

I wish they could put trees up there as well.

Here's a picture I took 2 wks. ago from the Whole Foods balcony.

I was downtown yesterday for my sister's wedding and as we were driving around everybody was like "God, I've never seen so much construction in a city in my life!" It just feels like it's going on everywhere you look. Really cool stuff.

Things that stood out to me: the Marriott hole is much deeper than it looks in photographs and Hyatt Place actually looks pretty decent from ground level. It's almost done, I would say.

Someone on the forum recently tallied up the approved multi-family residential building permits for the largest US MSAs, and Austin ranked number 5. New York, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Austin were the top 5.

That's awesome! Three Texas cities ranking with the two largest US cities!

My uncle in Colorado is an engineer. His contract with his current company runs out soon and he's looking at positions in Dallas. They've lived in Colorado for about 40 years, with a year or two stint in Florida. I was trying to nudge him to pick Austin. That way he could be in the middle of three of those cities.

Yesterday the Energy Control Center at 3rd and West had two trucks there loading up stuff. Does anybody know if the new control center is complete? I was wondering if they've started vacating that building.

3 Eleven Bowie has cleared all structures now and it looks like they're going to move the tree this week. That one is moving pretty quickly now it seems.

I saw that there was a crane base at the Marriot site. I believe I read they were going to have three cranes...looks like we'll have at least one up soon!
