Does anyone have any updates on the BBVA (Soon to be PNC) Tower and residences?
Austin has its own sub-forum. Please visit there for the most up-to-date information on specific projects. There is simply far too much occurring to provide detailed updates in this thread.
Samsung bought up a couple hundred acres adjacent to its current US HQ & Plant this past fall. They have already begun the entitlement process for said land. Maybe this is why:

Another California-based company is expanding in Austin, and this one already has a sizable footprint in the Texas capital.
Santa Clara-based semiconductor supplier Applied Materials Inc. is expanding its Austin campus with a new 729,000-square-foot warehouse facility, public records show.
It's a major expansion for the company, which is already the third-largest manufacturing firm operating in Austin, ranked by total campus square footage. Applied Materials had 2.05 million square feet of campus space and 316,661 square feet of manufacturing space as of October 2020, Austin Business Journal data shows.
Boom is an understatement. Austin is in “ludicrous“ mode.
Negative. They've gone plaid.

I was up on the East MLK UT garage today taking photos, and I counted 35 cranes in and around downtown. Those included ones I could see in the distance, including the one working on Domain Tower II at the Domain. 35 tower cranes. And then I noticed at least 9 more at the Tesla Campus in East Austin.

There were probably even more than that two months ago. More have been coming down than going up recently. Once Covid goes away, I suspect that we will have a resurgence of cranes going up downtown. That Tesla site is impressive. Up close there are around 20 cranes putting the main building together.
I love it also. I do wish we could see some height over there. I love shots of Vancouver, Toronto, and most Asian cities where they have multiple skylines. Apples to oranges, of course, but with that shot, I can still wish.
