One thing that was mentioned in the article was about Fairmont's plans. I copied from the article:
"And then there’s the Fairmont, a premier brand that plans to make its second Texas appearance with a $350 million convention hotel that would tower 580 feet at Red River and East Cesar Chavez near the Austin Convention Center.
That project just reached a major milestone when the city issued a site development permit, said Douglas Manchester, president of the hotel’s developer, Manchester Texas Financial Group. With permit in hand, “our architects are deep into creating the final designs,” Manchester said. “This puts us on track to break ground in January and open in the fall of 2016.”
Looks like the ground breaking date has moved yet again. But the quote from Manchester sounds like it is a positive go. I'm still crossing my fingers for this one. |
The January date has already been published elsewhere. That's not a move, just a verification of previously released data.
Edit: this piece is a bit old as well, so it may have been written in the same time period when we first got that information.
