A one-acre downtown property currently occupied by the former headquarters of a state pension fund is up for rezoning at tonight’s meeting of the Planning Commission, with city staff recommending the zoning change for the site, located at East 12th Street and the I-35 Frontage Road, to a central business district (CBD) designation — paving the way for a plan by an unknown developer, described in the review sheet document for the case as a tower project containing 350 residences and 35,000 square feet of retail space in the heart of Austin’s newly-formed “Innovation District.” |
"While we’re not sure if demolishing a building that’s less than 20 years old in favor of a taller development actually constitutes a new Austin record, it’s certainly an interesting factoid to tell your friends about the rate of downtown’s growth."
The rebuilt Austin Music Hall `2008 - 2014, completely new except for the slab, wins by a long shot.
