It sure does. I love how you can see the effects of the capitol corridors taking shape, especially on the far west side of downtown.

Hilton Boutique Hotel Headed to West Sixth

According to permits filed with the city today by engineering firm UDG, a new boutique hotel concept with a ground-floor restaurant will soon take shape at 612 West Sixth Street. The permit is filed under the name Canopy by Hilton, the 12th hotel brand of Hilton Worldwide first launched in 2014.

No portion of the post office block is within a cvc. The project was a two block project with a second tower across the street that I believe was within a cvc. I actually forget the exact location of the 2nd block, but it was across the street. One was stated to be 40 floors and 550 feet, while the other was planned as 37 floors and 480 feet.

This was the shorter tower. The project was being planned by Novare, which is the same group that developed 360 Condos.

Here's the map. You can see that the block isn't inside a cvc.

That brings back memories. I thought the second Novare tower was going to be a sure thing when they announced how quickly 360 sold out. Just like most of their buildings resemble each other, this one has the same cheese grater balconies as the 360. But I still wished they built it as planned. Now I hope if they do build a tall tower in that spot, it looks totally different just for our need for more variety.

Here are some shots of West Campus. I didn't take very good notes of the locations while I was shooting - rookie mistake - so the descriptions are a bit vague. I'm not very familiar with the West Campus construction, so I apologize.

Several people have asked me for full resolution copies of the photos I posted previously. I have uploaded the full resolution versions to imgur and will include the link to the particular album in each post. There are many more photos in this album than I posted here. Full resolution imgur album for West Campus: http://imgur.com/a/DAwgr

Not sure what this is, but that curved street is Lamar



Two under construction projects (center and upper left). The horizontal street is MLK



The verticle street on the left is 24th

I didn't see a separate thread for The Triangle. Here are some shots from this morning. The apartments that are under construction are called Villages at the Triangle. They are luxury senior housing and their website is here: http://w2rep.com/portfolio_page/thev...riangleavenue/ The full resolution versions of these photos are located in this imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/H50Cp Hazy morning. Can't control the weather unfortunately.

Sweet. Those show off just how dense West Campus and UT are and how much more dense West Campus can become. I would imagine that eventually most of those large apartment complexes will be torn down for more high rises. Everything happening in downtown is exciting and all, but I've been watching West Campus grow with great amusement.

Based on recent activity, I think there is a good chance that the following site plans get approved in the near future:

The Avenue
Marriott @ Cesar Chavez
The Huston
2100 Nueces
3rd & Colorado
Town Lake Lofts/a.k.a. East Ave. Apartments
Waterloo Park Tower/Hotel Maribeau

425 Riverside is also moving along pretty quickly. But since that project is a P.U.D. it will eventually need City Council approval. So there's no telling how that will go. Stay tuned.

Here are some pictures of the Fairmont crane coming down Saturday. I wonder if that's all the spire it's gonna get.

Design development permit for exterior upgrades to 823 Congress. I can't really tell that it'll look all that different, but on the plus side, this document includes building elevations.

300 Pressler site plan. I'm not sure why they're reposting it.

That 7-11 recently filed a permit for a fancy new sign!
