For one thing, the stairway up to the street at the corner of 3rd and Seaholm Dr. is going to go a long way toward establishing real connectivity. Secondly, the funky design they're going to put in the pathway (with three different types of concrete) is really cool:
Third, they're going to be using a lot of cool decorative elements like these granite bat designs in (on?) the walls...
...and concrete blocks with guitar designs on them, and fence paneling that looks like piano keys:
On top of that, I think the excavating and landscaping will look really good (in about 10 years when the trees are fully grown). Maybe the whole thing is corny but I'm a sucker for cheesy Austin-themed crap like this. We have certain themes we identify with Austin, so we might as well accentuate them.
