Yep. We're getting a new 2nd tallest in Austin (with the spire), and they announced in the middle of November that it would be starting construction in November, but the actual date was December 1st. Only then they were holding a ceremonial groundbreaking with a bunch of dignitaries, including the governor. Dirt is just now really starting to move on site, and it's likely going to be a few months before we see any actual construction because they have to dig down for 4 levels of parking at a site that occupies an entire block. So it's probably going to be spring before the building actually starts construction. It'll probably be sooner for this building, but yeah, the press doesn't always get it right because ground breaking doesn't exactly equal construction.
