Plans to redevelop an apartment complex in Northwest Austin are off to a rocky start, drawing a crowd to City Hall last week with demands for more concessions to displaced tenants.
Acacia Cliffs residents and their neighbors took to the podium on Thursday to request time for more robust negotiations with owner Price Realty Corporation, which is angling to rezone the site to construct a brand-new, seven-story apartment building. After nearly an hour of testimony, the divided dais ultimately landed in favor of their request, opting to postpone a final ruling on the case from April 24 to May 22. The motion passed in a 6-3-2 vote, with Council members Zo Qadri and Marc Duchen abstaining and Paige Ellis, Ryan Alter and Mayor Kirk Watson voting against.
Owner Capital City Lucky Riata LLC intends to turn 12535, 12545, 12555 and 12565 Riata Vista Circle into a mixed-use development with bioscience, residential, hotel and retail uses, according to Eric Thomas, division manager with the Austin Planning Department, though details haven't been disclosed.
I love the sense of place that square gives. I can imagine being there for a game watching on the big 🞵🞵🞵 screen or counting down for NYE. Built it! Especially the Verde Hotel
That would be a fun spot to watch Away games as well - and other community events, of course. It will be fun to see more density immediately around the stadium, for sure.
"directly adjacent to Q2 Stadium—the city’s largest sports and entertainment venue"
UT might want a word
I'm guessing they mean major league and not part of a school. At any rate, this will be one of Austin's main sports districts down the line with several 30+ storey towers by the mid 2030s

I know, and I’m a big fan of Q2. Just giving them a hard time over some of the puffery.
And there’s no way in hell that slide makes it to the final design

You mean you don't think Burnet will become a utopic tree-lined thoroughfare? I really hope the hotel at least comes to fruition soon. The surrounding Domain area doesn't have any higher-end hotels.
