GREAT!
Fairmont's I've visited are typically high design, taking cues from the surrounding city. Austin has plenty of "make it work" design, and could stand to use some more high design. Do we have to all were jeans all day everyday? I'm building my house in Zilker now, and my wife and I toured dozens of very nice homes in very nice neighborhoods for design inspiration, and found the most exciting design inspiration came from new well designed homes in The freaking Woodlands of all places. I'm ashamed to say that, but the "old rusted" Austin look is tiring.
sorry for the tangent. Basically, I'm pumped to see this property.

I love the style of some of the homes in The Woodlands, I personally really like the woodlands, but it is crazy how far it is from Houston.
