This one gets a thread now. The renderings from Towers:

The location from streetview:

“Now hiring.”

Not for long I hope. :D

My thinking is that they are going to move to another location. It's pretty popular especially with the local Middle Eastern population.

As a member of that "population," and a member of one the first families of said "population" to arrive in Austin over 120 years ago - I can say that you are incorrect in your assessment of that establishment.

How about Tarbouch on Oltorf? I like that place.

And Kabobzi on Burnet Rd.

I like it. It'll complement the Hanover tower under construction. It's almost a mirror image of that tower with a few minor differences. This 80-82 East has black exterior outlining at the top with white linings elsewhere whereas Hanover has white outlining at the top and grey linings elsewhere. I think they're both around the same height. I like it even though I generally don't like blue buildings. But this one is nice and sleek, just like both of the proposed Hanover towers in downtown Austin.

Man, this one came outta nowhere. I'm glad something's replacing that eyesore though.

Now if only they would fix the eyesore that is that Homewood Suites parking garage.

That lobby would look so nice against a sunken 35 with a cap park.

Like for real can they paint a cool mural or something on that freaking parking garage.

It can be anything, so long as it looks like this:

35 south of Cesar Chavez will not be sunken - unless they decide to replace the LBL bridge with a tunnel.

Didn’t the design have the cap extending just a bit from Cesar Chavez south? Enough perhaps to abut the corner of this lot.

This is an awesome new development! When is it expected to break ground?

Two years from the time of the "announcement" would be a good rule of thumb for projects like this. A little sooner than that for the more prolific national developers.

There is no actual design yet, but the DAA and ULI have a lot of experts in town next week to try and convince TXDOT to do it right. But, even if the main lanes go under Cesar Chavez as the southbound lanes do today, they come up to surface right in front of this property as they approach the bridge.

The site plan was filed. It's referred to as "The East Tower." I first thought this might be one of the Railyard Condo towers, but this wiill do.

No major news, but there is a new name: 84 East. Here's the website:

https://www.pearlstonepartners.com/Projects/84-East

Oh, NO! The people who bought the Railroad Yard Condos have GOBS OF MONEY!. I think they will build something more like their original vision!

What are you talking about?

I COMPLETELY forgot about this one. Even though it’s pretty much a carbon copy of Hanover Republic Square, I’m happy to have both of them in Austin.

On that block it’ll be the tallest building by far fronting I-35.

Is Hanover developing this tower? The architectural similarity to this tower with the Hanover downtown and other Hanover towers around the state is unmistakable.

The developer is Pearlstone, architect it STG. Does Hanover use STG?

They have used Chicago based SCB for all three of their downtown residential towers. SCB's website:

https://www.scb.com/

I though this was going to be 100% condo. But I didn't catch this when I last checked out the website:

https://www.pearlstonepartners.com/Projects/84-East

I was hoping for another 500 footer with this one. But it's 446'. The same height as 300 Colorado (Parsley HQ).

I like the brown accents.

So they can render Natiivo but not The Quincy? Heh

Probably intentional. Adding a rendering of the Quincy to this would block the lake, and they probably want to show that this building would have lake views.

Hanover Republic Square, Version III? I do like this design but it's becoming the Vancouver point tower of Austin.

Ironic that the parking podium is as tall as the Millenium Rainey (or whatever it's called) in its entirety. SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY.

Seriously, that thing is a podium for like 2 or 3 towers.

Another ⌘ Cmd+C Tower :P:haha:Glad about the height tho

I agree! That parking podium should be lined with active uses from ground to sky, just like Millenium Rainey!

Although I guess they *could* easily change it if they wanted, one thing that always annoyed me about Millenium was the amount of ground-level apartments they put in it, instead of commercial/retail/whatever space. Does anyone actually want to live on the ground floor of Rainey St.? I can't imagine you get any sleep.

What's funny is that I actually think Millenium Rainey is the missed opportunity -- so low for such an important corner!

That said, Hanover^3 isn't doing much for itself in the podium department either.

my buddy and I lived in one of the town homes that walk out to the street at "404 Rio Grande" (not sure what's called now) back in 03-06. It was loud (mostly partiers returning from Warehouse District to Gables West), but it was a BLAST. 10/10 would do it again.

Why would they? Both Natiivo and 84 East are being developed by the same company - Pearlstone Partners. The Quincy is being developed by Endeavor.

It costs money to add renderings. So, I'm not shocked that Pearlstone did not elect to pay for a rendering of a building that is not apart of their portfolio.

Plans for a Luffing crane were posted for AULCC.

Have we seen a demo permit? They've gotta get rid of the Phoenician to move forward.

Not sure if any permits have been filed but 3 days ago the restaurant said they permanently closed their Rainey location: https://goo.gl/maps/8WxwuAXFwEMoghuo6

Yup. Their website says they will be relocating to 2909 Guadalupe which was the site of Miltos.

Here's a packet of info for next week's DC meeting and a few of the renderings.

The stacking plan with that lists it as 455 feet. It's still 41 floors.

Here's a new rendering of the tower from the DC presentation. The updates are very subtle.

Like the colors on this one. Surprised it's still kicking after months of radio silence in COVID times.

The elevations stopped at 446', but that wasn't the total height. 455' looks like the actual height.

Color scheme will be a great match to the supertall around the corner

Parking garage cover looks kinda like Nativo's. Not very nice looking but at least it's not as bad as the Independent.

Austin-based McCray & Co. (https://www.mccray-co.com/) is handling the finish outs for the units, and the lobby/amenity design.

Ya'll might recognize them from any of the Ramen Tatsu-ya restaurants, and a bunch of others around town.
