I've been meaning to take some pics but I believe the new hotel in the Domain is topped out. Maybe 8 stories? Also the office building next to HomeAway and Whole Foods is coming along. The whole area is under construction.

Does anyone know when 6444 burnet is gonna break ground? I'm also verrrry curious about the retail at the base of burnet marketplace

That'll be a nice lil dense area in about 2 years.

Somehow in all the buzz about Internet retailer Amazon.com Inc. building a huge distribution facility in San Marcos, there was little mention of the company quietly occupying a big chunk of office space in North Austin.
Specifically, Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) has grabbed 76,000 square feet at Domain 7.

News to me - pretty cool.

Big Red Dog Enginnering is stating that Domain 8 broke ground in August.

A quote from what they stated.

Quote:

BIG RED DOG is working with Endeavor Real Estate Group and Nelsen Partners on the Domain 8 project, located at 11601 Alterra Parkway in north Austin. The office building will stand 12 stories tall and contain nearly 300,000 square feet.

This project broke ground in August 2015. Keep checking Facebook and the BIG RED Blog for updates on this exciting project!

Streetview has Domain updates as recently as July. The construction progress is amazing.

It sure is.

The ATX · #7 Posted **Sep 6, 2015, 2:09 AM**

I don't know if we covered this before, but the site plan shows this as 11-stories and ~167'. The elevations are on pages 37-39:

I believe that title goes to ACC Pinnacle Campus in SW Austin. The building currently stands at 145ft.

KevinFromTexas · #10 Posted **Sep 6, 2015, 7:17 PM**

That would actually make Domain 8 the tallest outside of downtown, UT and West Campus. plus the highrises just south of the river. Pinnacle Campus is actually the tallest right now outside of the core. It's 160 feet tall to the top of the mechanical penthouse. That 145 foot number was an estimate from the building's management, and is only to the main roof.

The tallest buildings in that area are 130 to 140 feet. So a 167 foot one would be considerably taller than those. And it is 167 feet (166 feet 10 inches) to the very top of the mechanical penthouse. I used a piece of paper to measure that last ledge that wasn't listed and compared it against another measurement on the elevations for a section that was 2 feet wide. It should stand out fairly well from that area and even from quite a distance. I'm not sure if it'll be visible from I-35 or not, but it might. At 167 feet it would be our 84th tallest if it were complete today.

Here's a rendering of Domain 8. I think renderings were posted somewhere in the forum a while back.

I wouldn't have guessed it was that tall. Maybe only 140 feet or so. Granted it's 146 to the main roof, but not being able to see the mechanical penthouse I didn't think it would be much taller than that. I still want to see something crack the 200 or even the 300 foot mark in that area. I want to be able to see something poke up from miles away. And it would be nice to see the Domain form an actual skyline eventually. That won't really happen unless we start seeing more buildings above the 150 to 200 foot mark. It would be one thing if Austin were flat, but even downtown can disappear when you're in North Austin.

Domain 8

New project next to Top Golf

I'm looking forward to Domain 8. It should definitely stand out from the other buildings in the area. Right now there is sort of a plateau effect, as most buildings are in the 4-6 floor range (with the exception of the Westin and and Archer hotels, which barely poke above the cluster). There are still open areas on the NE side of the Domain, zoned for office. Hopefully those will be relatively tall as well.

What are they building next to Top Golf? Presumably more apartments.

Not sure what exactly they are building, but my guess would be more apartments or a Public Storage.

It's behind a paywall, so I'll just post the link.

With a couple dozen tower cranes casting shadows across downtown and the University of Texas, it’s hard to believe there could be another area of extreme construction activity — but there is.

^^ How long is it before these are free to read? I think I remember someone say a month or something...

The article is not that interesting and very short. It basically just recaps the three or so office buildings under construction right now including Domain 8.
