AUSTIN | Project Updates Thread Part II - Page 109

I just noticed that they updated Google Earth over Austin so a lot of sites are visibly under construction or finished that weren't showing before.

Well, it's almost November. November should be a big month for groundbreakings: The Independent, Austin Proper and 70 Rainey. These are three of the best Downtown proposals yet to start IMO. I sure hope they break ground as scheduled.

I won't hold my breath about any of these projects getting started this month. I thought 70 Rainey was slated to break ground in October. I just don't think the other two are ready to turn any dirt just yet. Hopefully I am wrong.

Foggy downtown this morning. From my office on 360.

Does anyone know what is being built at 909 Nueces? This is right near the 22-story, Aspen Heights Apartments project and there is a pretty substantial hole there. Would imagine it is going to be a multi-story building based on the foundation.

At 908 Nueces there is a 4-story condo project that got approval. But that would be on the other side of the street.

My bad. I think it's actually 908 Nueces, not 909. Thanks, that would definitely make sense.

Do you know what condo it is, any renders? I just saw that when I walked by Aspen yesterday.

I just knew what it was from a building permit, but DAB had renderings a while back. It's called Esquina Austin:

If skyscraper page had a "like" button I wouldn't have to quote your photo and tell you I like it.

Cool pic!

Great pic, and a perfect example of our below the fog line skyline except the Austonian. We should have at least a half dozens towers poking through the top.

Tower crane permit for 3215 Exposition Boulevard. This is at West 35th.

Site plan. Nothing huge, just 3 floors, but that is a large piece of land that front's Mopac.

3215 Exposition

http://3215exposition.com

I find it kind of strange for having a tower crane for a project like this?

This could be something big. Cielo Property Group filed for a CVC determination today for 900 Congress. The site is currently occupied by a 4-story Prosperity Bank.

Office tower?

The new 2016 Capitol Complex Master Plan has just been released. I really like the Texas Mall that would replace Congress Ave north of the Capitol and new buildings to replace many o the surface parking lots.

Lots of positives, but it's a shame they still have to devote so much time/attention/money to parking. Especially with so much parking that goes unused 500 day each biennium.

resansom · #20 Posted **Nov 12, 2015, 8:52 PM**

From the PDF - looking south, down the proposed mall, from north of the capitol:

I like the mall - not so much the big, stubby buildings.
