I emailed someone with the developer asking for the building heights last month. He told me they are still in the early stages of design, and asked me to contact him again in a few months.

Someone on the forum had noticed the lot was barricaded a while back. The person I spoke to said it was because they didn't have a parking permit for the property. I did notice during SXSW that there were some big trucks parked there, so I guess they got their parking permit done before SXSW.

Me, too. I have a feeling that's going to be a favorite spot of mine to take photos from.

Forgot to post this. Massive solar panel installation happening at The Palmer. They aren't even finished. I hope to see more solar/wind power included in high rise projects over the next few years.

The Urban Land Institute is holding their annual development forum in April. Below is the emailer they sent out Friday night. All of the commercial real estate developers get together and show off what they have in the pipeline for development. They bring marketing materials, scale models and other types of presentations, and you can talk to the various developers and ask questions. It's a really interesting showcase. The firm I work for has a booth at the showcase every year, as do most of the other firms in town. The cost to attend is $35 for ULI members and $50 for non-members. If that's too steep for you, both the Statesman and the Biz Journal do a recap story the next day with renderings and details, so there will be an interesting news article(s) about it afterward.

Re: Prillar Photos! Nice shots! Havne't been able to walk for a month ! (fractured leg booo..) Wow the progress is cool to see! The shot of Skyhouse from the trail shows how the buildings around it are starting to relate. I'm not a huge fan of any of those buildings, but the density from the collection is starting to show.

It looks like the glass will pretty much be the same as what's on 360. It's crazy how reflective it is. On some days you don't even notice the building so much.
