Wow they actually went through with the hanging plants what a pleasant surprise. Despite the VE I think this turned out fine

[gillynova]

Very exciting! Looking forward for the sidewalk to be open to the public

Anyone got photos of the rendering?

This was a design proposal for 80 Rainey by SixthRiver architects.

Landscape architect did not choose the best tree to plant. Most of them are scorched. I personally would've opted for Sycamore trees.

Mexican Sycamore (Platanus mexicana): This species thrives in the harsh Texas climate and is well-suited for urban and suburban areas. It is known for being very heat-resistant and drought-tolerant.

I think they just need to add water.

Also, the first available move in date was Wed. 10/01. Any new residents may have to jump the fence.

They don't have TCO yet and are now telling people November for move-ins. It wouldn't be shocking if that pushes further either..from everything I've seen / heard, the fire marshalls have been extra special this year

Floors 14-17 are being used as a 59 room hotel called Roost Rainey. Apparently some TikTok influencers are staying in the hotel rooms to promote the Paseo. But I haven't bothered to check TikTok to verify that.

I don't know what's worse, the name "paseo" or that hideous sign. Would have loved to be in the room when that decision was made. If I was in that room, there would have been fireworks.....

You can see that it lights up pretty bright by the reflection on the Travis photos that gilly posted.

This one has a dull west coast vibe, think LA, San Diego and even Honolulu.

The coffee shop turned out nice

[Urbannizer]

Sign has only been up since what, November? Some of the lighting is already out lol.

I like the name and the sign. There is actually a whole story behind it:

"The name Paseo was inspired by local real estate writer James Rambin who thought the meaning of the word captured the essential character of the Rainey Street District. “When I learned about the project, the word Paseo immediately came to mind” said Rambin. “In Spanish, a Paseo is a public boulevard or promenade. The name perfectly fits this building, since its design enhances the Rainey Street District’s walkable environment and electric atmosphere.”
