Weekly Construction Update

Text copied over, with all photos missing

90 Rainey - 606' - 52 Floors

Demo permit approved for the existing Container Bar and neighboring Bungalow. Don't worry, they'll be incorporated into the base of the new tower. I've seen some pretty cool designs for the implementation, but those pictures are probably impossible to dig up by now.

Block 185 - 594' - 35 Floors

Austin's next signature tower is really getting into the swing of things. This has passed the Northshore's base and will soon be easily visible from more parts of South Austin. No easily discernible floor counts, but the main tower might be on the 6th floor and the core is probably around the 8th.

44 East - 573' - 49 Floors

New photo from the developer, Intracorp. Building in foreground. Looks to be starting columns for the third floor.

Indeed Tower - 542' - 36 Floors

Up to the 34th floor now. Core is probably topped out, or at least close. Really becoming a dominant tower on the skyline and arguably the most impressive from some angles.

Hanover Republic Square - 514' - 44 Floors

Tower is on 4th floor, core is on the 7th (roughly.) This will be as tall as the Frost Tower and has been seemingly forgotten amidst other projects. What a city we live in.

Natiivo / Austin - 358' - 33 Floors

In the background of the 44 East photo. Starting to have a significant presence from I-35.

405 Colorado - 356' - 25 Floors

The molar/CRT/insult of the week has one more floor to go. The facade is flying up and it's better looking than I was expecting.

5th & Brazos - 355' - 31 Floors

This has reached the 31st floor of construction, and will be topped out within August. Significant progress has been made on the residential portion's glass facade.

Alexan Capitol - 350' - 29 Floors

This has (unofficially) topped out. Brick is starting to fly up the sides of this one, and it'll start really looking nice in a few weeks once the facade is further along.

Hyatt Centric Congress (The Avenue) - 346' - 31 Floors

Crane base installed! This is finally going to see some vertical progress after starting site demo all the way back in December.

Block 164 - 272' - 16 Floors

One of the more forgettable projects, this will soon be poking aboveground at the former Brackenridge Hospital site. Blurry photo from ABJ.

1911 San Antonio - ?' - 17 Floors

Renderings finally released, this is for the lot near St. Austin Parish church in West Campus

Dorsey - 170' - 15 Floors

The new tallest in East Austin. Glass starting to go in on the lower residential floors. Columns going up for the 11th floor.

Loren Hotel & Condos - 104' - 8 Floors

This is what ended up at the old Taco Cabana/Pollo Tropical South Lamar site. Pretty boring, but underground parking is nice. Work on the foundation is well underway.
