Aren't those (L-R):

1. The Republic
2. ATX
3. 62 East

?

Also, there appear to be at least a couple of buildings in Rainey that are missing. Can -you- guess those? ;-)

Spot on, no but I can tell there a plenty of missing projects. That area is a lot buffer than what the map shows. I will have to add existing buildings to this. Looks like Austonian is missing too. I have a ton of research to do as it comes to Austin, next will be Dallas. I will have to familiarize myself.

Is this happening? Would be amazing alongside the West 6th work already starting.

I wish every neighborhood within the core would do similar things.

Still a damn shame the city didn't make it into a park or something. I know that was probably impossible, but it was a fun place that gave the city character, and drew people to this neighborhood.

A student housing building in downtown Austin is being converted into a hotel. Demolition has already begun at "The G," a property that is being transformed into a 185-room Tru by Hilton hotel, according to Ron Pope, a partner at TAG International and the architect of the project.

The decision to convert the 10-year-old building is partly due to changes in the surrounding area, including the construction of the new Travis County courts facility across the street and the boom in student housing closer to the University of Texas campus. The G, located at 1715 Guadalupe St., is owned by United Capital LLC. Demolition began in September, and crews are gutting the building down to its concrete structure before rebuilding it as a hotel.


The new hotel will have rooms on the top six floors of the nine-story building. The top level of the existing parking garage will be redesigned to include a lobby with a bar, lounge, gym, and reception area. Flynn Construction is overseeing the project, which is expected to be completed by March 2026.

Having blank walls right in the corner of Guad and 18th is...a choice.

I updated the tallest lists for year end 2024 in the stick development thread.

I will be adding atleast 3 projects a day to the maps. Here is a link for an interactive view of the map. Stay tuned for more.
Map only functions on pc and starts off in Houston, so just needs to be moved over Austin.

Nice find. I've been wondering what was up with this project since the zoning was approved in February. That company's website has a 50+ minute webinar for potential investors, but the presentation did not leave me with positive vibes.
