Here is the site.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/30...28!4d-97.74004 The site was formerly owned by The Sutton Co. who had been working on a plan that would have had two towers, one that was stated to be a 60-story tower that would have been the tallest in Austin. Sutton worked to get the permits that would have allowed them to build up to 1.5 million square feet on the site. Sutton sold the property after the new developer approached them. This article from last year details the old proposal that Sutton was pursuing. http://www.statesman.com/business/pr...geJ8JiUYHPKgJ/ These were the renderings we saw for it. http://i.imgur.com/5hcmkS7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5XOrroe.jpg |
How is the Waller Creek project going ?

I haven't been following it all that much, but it is on schedule. The tunnel itself and the outlet at the river are complete, but they're still working on the inlet at 4th Street, 8th Street and Waterloo Park.
http://www.austintexas.gov/departmen...r-creek-tunnel The conservancy is still planning their public use upgrades along the creek and in the parks. https://www.wallercreek.org/ |
The site plan which had been filed a while ago was expiring soon, and it has been renewed this week.
Also, the site plan was posted to the city's website for the utilities review and it included some numbers for the towers. There's some discrepancy here, but Phase I is listed in the box to the left as being 595 feet with 422 residential units. Those numbers are listed as the same in the building's footprint on the site plan to the right. Phase II is listed in the box to the left as being 595 feet with 422 residential units. The odd part is that in the building's footprint on the site plan to the right it lists the building as a 695 foot building with 147 units, but it also lists 280 hotel rooms. I'm guessing the 147 units are residential. ftp://ftp.ci.austin.tx.us/ATD_AULCC/...avis_PLANS.pdf |
They're still all over the place with the numbers. This article says the first tower would be "roughly 45 floors" but that it could be 50 floors.
The 2nd tower is being mentioned as anywhere from 30 to 35 floors or even 50 to 60 floors depending on how the market handles the first one. This says they're planning on breaking ground early next year. https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/n...5-stories.html Quote:

The site plan was posted for this project and for the first time we have a better understanding of the heights.
ftp://ftp.ci.austin.tx.us/ATD_AULCC/...SS_PLAN_03.pdf Phase I will be a 594 foot tower with 52 floors of condos. Phase II will be a 704 foot tower with 60 floors of condos and a hotel. This is Austin's third tallest proposal. 6 X Guadalupe is proposed at 848 feet with 65 floors and The Republic is proposed at 708 feet with 46 floors. |

I'm not sure why they're stating they're adding a 2nd tower. We've known for at least a year that they were.

those ASL measurements had me fooled for a brief moment.

Quite an attractive building I would say!
|
Austin has wasted this boom by constructing so many lame boxes.
|
After seeing so many of these new iconic towers going up around the world, I'm more than ready now to see the square or rectangular boxes return.
You can always dress up any boxy glass building by employing different colored reflective glass. Or mosaic like. |
Activity picking up..
