A site plan was filed Monday for a project, and the filing listed the address as "
400 East 4th Street" however, we believe that's a typo. It's unlikely that a project is planned for that block because that block happens to be the site of Brush Square Park. However,
400 West 4th Street would be on the other side of downtown on a block that just so happens to be a fully vacant block and was formerly the site of a proposed county courthouse, along with commercial use tower. Travis County now is taking bids to develop the block. One of the files for this indicates that the site is currently a parking lot, which the vacant block very much is. The name of the project is also "The Republic". Republic Square Park sits across the street from the former "courthouse block".
Anyway, the filing is for a high rise office building with mixed uses. Hopefully, this will include residential or a hotel, because if it does it'll likely be a big tower. If it's only office space, it's unlikely to be as big since this is a fully vacant block, and we don't want anymore 400 footers.
