Noy quite yet. The project is still in its horizontal phase. It will still be a while before construction moves into the project's vertical phase (by definition).

What is the target completion of this one again? I've seen conflicting dates in my super quick search. Figure this forum is the best source of accurate information on development these days, haha.

Crane #2 being assembled

It's so weird driving by this and the CC not being there anymore.

I'm surprised they didn't move the sign on the JW to the left
.All you can see is JW MA.

So, we need some folks at all of the hotels in the area - top floors facing the CC. We can just reserve rooms with the SkyscraperPage credit card and take turns documenting the project.

ATX? Kevin? Y'all have SSP cards, I'm sure, right? You've been around a while...

Judge OKs funding for Austin Convention Center expansion

Texas should have the same lawsuit rules as the UK…….. loser pays all attorneys fees for both sides & court costs.

We would get a deal since all the hotels are hurting right now with no convention center. They are desperate to sell their rooms.
