Found the last sentence interesting....

"The Fairmont Hotel Austin likely will break ground early in 2014."

I guess a January ground breaking may not happen after all. Hopefully this gets built but I'm cautiously optimistic with each delay.

It could also just be wording. January is technically early 2014.

January is early 2014...

This is possibly the best view of Austin.

Nice picture Syndic, hey I was wondering is there anyway we can raise the Frost Tower another 500ft?

JoninATX · #7 Posted **Dec 3, 2013, 9:50 PM**

Maybe an extra 500ft is pushing it but I think the structural support of the tower could support an extra 100- 200 ft.

So, we should get a bet going on what building will break ground next.

My money is on The Fairmont.

Same.

Fairmont is a go, right?

As far as we know. The last reported start date was January. I go by the site every day after work, so I got my eye on it.

The number of big projects being proposed and under construction is getting freaking ridiculous. But that's good.

From Texas Monthly:
"If we're going to recklessly speculate, though, the odds are much better that the signage and the equipment are for the From Dusk Till Dawn TV series, which is currently filming in Austin, and which is directed and produced by Tarantino BFF Robert Rodriguez. Tarantino both wrote and starred in the original film, and the idea that Rodriguez is tossing in a Pulp Fiction reference as an easter egg for fans and to get some nerd-juices flowing seems pretty likely."
