Having 2 tower cranes over 1,000ft would be a sight to see.

Absolutely!

It's an interesting timeline. The first crane seems to be going vertical in April, the next one, six months later (October), and the last one (the shortest) will be erected in November 2022.

The tallest one seems like it will be up until September 2025. So, move-ins may begin in early 2026?!? A four-year construction schedule seems on par for a building of this size.

Crane schedule seems to indicate that they'll start on the lower hotel portion (technically a diff building?) well after the tower is underway.

Makes sense so they can use that location as staging in the short-run.

Block 190 (Phase II) is also a planned staging area.

Also it seems like it would be hard to book rooms in a hotel next to an active supertall construction site.

I've been told by someone I trust that financing is fully in place for this one. Not sure if that is news or not.

If those crane dates hold true, we'll have a ground breaking in 1Q2022!

I think this is news, though it's not surprising seeing as how quickly this has moved forward (especially after maybe 8 years of Sutton Co. and WeWork sitting on it).

Presumably they have a hotel partner lined up, or at least close to confirmed, so I'm curious to see who that would be as well. Surely something pretty high end, if it's in the tallest tower in Texas, and likely to be next door to a Ritz?

I didn't notice a few recent permits until today:

From today, this looks like the tower crane license/proof of insurance permit:

From September, for Pecan tree move:
https://abc.austintexas.gov/public-s...ertyrsn=249656

From September, for cutting power to the Iron Works BBQ overflow parking lot lighting and power to the little food truck park:
https://abc.austintexas.gov/public-s...ertyrsn=249656

A Plan Review was filed in August for concurrent approval with the site plan:

This was covered in a previous post. The City is requiring them to use 92 Red River as the address during the permitting process. They can post signs or whatever with any other name that they want.

I'll also add that the Waller Creek Tower name seems to have been discarded. That was the name given to this project during the initial design competition.

Echostatic · #16 Posted **Nov 11, 2021, 8:54 PM**

That "Trail Access Closed" sign has me convinced this thing will really happen as planned. 64 months is over 5 years.

The ATX · #17 Posted **Nov 11, 2021, 9:04 PM**

They also filed another permit yesterday for building a bridge over Waller Creek.

IluvATX · #18 Posted **Nov 12, 2021, 4:28 PM**

When will this be considered site prep? Are we still waiting for approval?

Pretty sure they have full approval.

The name change is for the best. Every time I hear or read the name Waller Creek I think of the bums I'd see bathing in the creek even 30 years ago. Red River isn't much better as it separates Texas from our mortal enemies.
