AUSTIN | 99 Trinity | FEET | FLOORS

^Plus the stuff right down Red River with the Hotel Van Zandt, which should be done by then. I just noticed last weekend that the foundations are up. And then whatever else is built on Rainey Street one block over. That 70 Rainey Street project was rumored to be 30-floors. It's going through the city approval process now. And then there's Millennium Rainey. It's only 8 floors, but it'll be another crane in the sky over there. So between now and the beginning of 2015 there could be a dozen tower cranes in that area of downtown. Every single one of these 8 projects is actively pursing permits with the city.

Plus financing doesn't seem to a problem for any of these projects either. Austin is so hot right now that financing seems to already be in place when projects are announced.

The company is poised to start its first major ground-up development at 99 Trinity St.— a 38-story, 350 unit apartment tower adjacent to the Four Seasons Hotel.

During the next six months expect to see site work commence on the 99 Trinity project across from the Austin Convention Center along East Cesar Chavez Street. Paul acknowledges that there have been delays — but for good reason.

“We redesigned the project and have closely monitored the market to assess demand,” he said. “We have completed this and are moving forward full-speed ahead.”

Doucet & Associates engineering in Austin is navigating the project through the city development process.

President and CEO John Doucet said his history with World Class Capital has been productive and worthwhile — even though the 99 Trinity project has had a few bumps.

“We have worked with them for several years,” Doucet said. “All projects have challenges, but we have maintained an open and respectful relationship throughout. We have full intentions of continuing to work with them in the future.”

Back from the dead. Site under contract.

This one's hard to read. Could be a supertall but the rendering itself makes it look larger than it may turn out to be.

Located between the Austin Convention Center, Lady Bird Lake, the Four Seasons complex, and the base of the Waterloo Greenway.

Vibrant lifestyle hotel with branded residences, complemented by entertainment-driven F&B, live music, and event programming.

Ok I'm intrigued. Love the dark glass....but the base is way too bulky. Can we just have a really tall point tower?

The rendering seems to imply this would include the demolition of COA's affordable housing Lakeside tower, which I have a hard time believing happens unless some serious cash is paid.

That's not possible. It's an early rendering where they omitted Lakeside Tower for a better look. The building will sit along Cesear Chavez.

Awesome design but ceiling heights look to be 50 feet or so. Seems like an illegitimate render.
