I agree - this one is nice looking. I like the arches on the bottom in addition to the texture that you're talking about.

it's nice, but the fair market is a net loss for the city. so many events are held there that attract tons of people.

I don't think that Fair Market project is on the table anymore. At best it's on hold. The site plan was approved two years ago, and I remember reading that it wasn't moving forward as planned. Architects quite often don't update project status on their websites after the renderings are posted.

Venues like this are easily replaceable. They come and go. This one has been open since 2014, in a warehouse dating to 1952.

Yeah, Fair Market is literally just a warehouse. Kinda sucks for events too...especially in the summer.

More housing near a rail station is good in theory. But as things stand now, proximity to metro rail station falls short of the wow factor as a selling point: Service ends too early on weeknights and weekend nights, no Sunday service unless there is SXSW or ACL Fest, and rail only serves a slice of town.

It sounds nice to be next to rail, but the bigger draw here transportation-wise (IMO) is that it's about an equal distance away to the stop for the Rapid 837, and in a part of town with excellent bike connectivity. And being this close to the rail in this part of town means you're minutes from a solid trail network and greenspace amenities, too.

Additionally, rail service hours can always (and should be) expanded. Proximity to an existing station is a good thing. This is great for the area.

A beautiful building - a shame it had to be so large to approximate the effect of a well-designed single stair building, of which millions exist across the world. Thankfully the code updates last year will open up the options for smaller footprint buildings, and I hope as a city we continue to relax the myriad restrictions on housing & land use which lead to big SFH, big MFH full of efficiency/1br/2br units, and almost nothing else.

What I wouldn't give for Austin to have housing dense enough that we don't get ourselves into a structural budget shortfall due to unsustainable suburban development....
