Austin | The Standard at Austin | 191 feet | 17 Floors | Complete
A site plan for another 17-story student apartment building was filed in late November. I posted the link after it was filed, but the ABJ has some details now. It's being called the Standard at Austin, and it's located at 715 1/2 W. 23rd. Here's the site plan again:
https://abc.austintexas.gov/web/perm...rtyrsn=5303974 Here's the ABJ article: https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/n...ut-austin.html Here's the location on Streetview: https://i.imgur.com/9j2DfiK.png |

So "interesting" they would use a name associated with high end hotels.....

So, when I look this address up, it's a giant parking garage (the one to the right in the above picture by The ATX). Is it just replacing that?
|
Site plan was posted on Thursday to the city's AULCC page.
ftp://ftp.ci.austin.tx.us/ATD_AULCC/...stin_PLANS.pdf The elevations only go to the main roof - 172 feet 4 inches, but I measured the penthouse to around 188 feet 4 inches. |
It's decent looking for West Campus. The estimated start of construction is October 2018.

The widest side will front West 23rd Street and replace the parking garage that's there now. The south facing units are going to have a nice view of the concrete wall on the Co-Op garage.

Speaking of Standard Hotels. I remember reading about this a while back, but at the time I didn't catch that it was a Standard Hotel. Although this same stuff will probably be going on at the unrelated West Campus Standard apartment completx.

Here are some FAA filings for this project. Interestingly, the permit for the building is showing it at 218 feet.
This also lists the work schedule as 8/1/2018 through 8/1/2020. The crane permit lists the schedule as 9/30 of 2018 through 3/31 of 2020. The Standard @ Austin - NW Corner #1 - 92 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...0654684&row=11 The Standard @ Austin - NW Corner #2 - 92 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...0654685&row=12 The Standard @ Austin - NE Corner #1 - 97 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...0654692&row=17 The Standard @ Austin - NW Corner #3 - 213 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...0654686&row=13 The Standard @ Austin - SW Corner - 214 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...0654689&row=14 The Standard @ Austin - SE Corner - 217 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...0654690&row=15 The Standard @ Austin - NE Corner #2 - 218 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...0654691&row=16 Also, it looks like this one is going to have two really tall cranes - the taller one will be 432 feet tall. The Standard @ Austin - Crane#1 - 430 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...0654694&row=19 The Standard @ Austin - Crane# - 432 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...0654693&row=18 |
The site plan was posted to the AULCC page, and there's a slight change in height. The first elevations we saw didn't show this, but there are two sets of stairs that drop down 3 feet 3 inches below the 0 feet baseline number. So, the overall height appears to be 190 feet 7 inches.

The Standard elevations are on pages 25-27 if anyone wants to take a look at them. This may be end up being one of the better looking WC projects. Renderings should be available by now, but I can't find any.

Prepping for demo - all businesses at ground level have shuttered and some fencing is up.

A decent addition to the area. Now if this council could only find the leadership to abolish the excessive parking requirements and adjust upward the restrictive height limits then we could see some narrower towers and more connectivity in the area. Sadly, there is strong opposition to nearly anything that makes sense in this area. For now...

argh... everytime I see this thread I get excited and then have to remind myself it's more crappy student housing.

Excited to see this garage come down, they now have this entire stretch of W 23rd blocked off.

Yeah, I don't see the problem with parking garages that look like they could fit well in a zombie apocalypse movie...

Demo set for tomorrow: https://www.kvue.com/article/news/lo...mpus/626157424

Man, demo stuff never gets old.

Looks nice to me!
|
I love the vertical panel accents. If this doesn't come out value engineered this could be special.
|
It sort of has a South Florida/Miami Beach thing going on, nevermind the palm trees.
Just think, there are going to be two of these across the street from each other. |
Nice all around updates today, Urbannizer.
|
Wow!!!

Che e enoreme in un buon modo:yes:

This one can be seen from South Lamar near Gibson Flats.

I’ll have to revisit the site as I only got a pic of the backside the other day.
