80 Red River(Phase II)

The developer is called Morris – Marriott Development. Could Austin finally see a true 5 star hotel under the Marriott brand, such as Ritz-Carlton or St. Regis?

That was an excellent find. So if I understand it correctly, Travis #1 may not be affected. But Travis #2 which has always been Phase #2 with a hotel, has morphed into a more significant project.

Yes. It seems that way. Plus, I don't think M2 Partners is apart of Tower I - are they?

Design is expected to be complete in April 2022 with a delivery date in 3Q2025.

They are not. Beginning to think this is a completely separate development. No mention of Tower #1 and nothing comes up for “The Travis M2 Partners”.

One of the partners' name is Marriott (Angela). I'm mot sure if she's affiliated with the hotel chain.

The images don't load for me.

Yeah, I think the Travis Project will turn into just the original Phase I tower, and this will be a separate development. But they are both using the same address - 80 Red River - for now.

It'll have a rooftop restaurant which should make for some nice views. Bring $$$$$.

Echostatic · #10 Posted **Jan 26, 2021, 12:19 AM**

Oh, a rooftop restaurant would be incredible.

Same Architect, same developer as a similar project in Nashville. It will be rooftop (800'+ in the air).

That's nuts! Basically the same project / program on a larger site, and therefor shorter. Even the press releases are nearly identical except for the location and statistics. It makes me wonder if the person writing / editing both of them simultaneously didn't mess up the numbers somewhere in the copy / paste process. I didn't see any reference to the restaurant being on the top roof on either project, but I will take your word for it. It would be cool!

Wow we just keep going! This city.

This is unreal! Hoping for a Ritz.

Both this and 98 RR will have that floating top segment effect too.

I don't know of anywhere else in the United States where this level of high-rise construction is going on...maybe Seattle?

New York, obviously. Miami to some extent.

Chicago too. They're always building tall there. Home of the skyscraper after all.

Now just picture the 1,022 footer right behind and you have a trio of monsters. One things for sure, our tallest won't look out of place on the skyline. Just need a couple of 900 footers to really have that height variation.

The ATX · #19 Posted **Jan 26, 2021, 5:01 AM**

Just because we are on a new page in this thread...

I think you'll get that height variation with the 400' "plateau" buildings, coupled with the 500/600-footers, plus a few 700-footers, and then a sprinkle of 800'ers. It would be cool to have a 900-footer or two...but, not necessary to create a steady variation between heights.
