Yesterday Bury, who are the engineers for Lincoln Property Company, submitted AULCC transmittals for both this building (5th & Colorado Tower, 190,000 square feet) and a second office/retail building at 4th & Colorado (90,000 to 100,000 square feet). The AULCCs say that construction is estimated to start as early as 7/1/14.
The documents are on the City's FTP site here:
ftp://ftp.ci.austin.tx.us/ATD_AULCC/131121/
There is also a combined map showing the 2 locations here:

No site plans, renderings, elevations or construction drawings yet. I'm sure that will follow.
There's also an AULCC for a hotel at 7th & Congress (621 Congress). I can't remember off the top of my head which hotel this is, but there is a map included:

For those of you not familiar, AULCC stands for Austin Utility & Location Coordination Committee, and one of the early steps in preparing to develop a commercial building in Austin is to submit a request to this committee to locate and confirm the utilities in the area you plan to develop. They are they guys that spray-paint those orange (telecom), green (sewer), blue (water) and yellow (gas) arrows and lines on the roadways, showing where the utilities are. They also handle right-of-way disputes, crane approvals, etc.
