City council approved it. This says the developers are planning a ground breaking late this year with a 2015 opening.

After deal struck, council gives initial nod to apartment-hotel project
Developers, neighbors reach 11th-hour agreement
By Gary Dinges and Shonda Novak
Heading into Thursday’s Austin City Council meeting, it appeared developers of a planned 24-story downtown tower that includes a luxury hotel would be squaring off with residents of a nearby condo tower who opposed some aspects of the project.
The council’s 7-0 vote came after Richard Suttle Jr., attorney for developer Gables Residential, and John Joseph, attorney for the residents, reached an 11th-hour agreement on several items outside the Council chambers.
“Now we’re back to talking as neighbors,” said Joe Cain, a resident of the Plaza Lofts condo building next to the project, which Gables plans to break ground on late this year on West Fourth Street between Lavaca and Guadalupe streets. Gables anticipates a late 2015 opening for the project.
