Please elaborate. All I've seen is the new admin wants to replace it with chip tariffs.

We were adding tools but right now the demand of chips is low. NXP will focus on factories that will make 300 mm chips. They will not build any in America. Our only hope is a company buys these fabs off of NXP. The Chips act was only for factories that cater to the department of defense. And the fabs here in Austin just make chips mainly for autos.

Speaking of the Chips Act - from CNBC today: Micron to receive $6.1 Billion for plants in NY and Idaho that will create 20K jobs.

Construction on The District underway in Round Rock

March 6, 2025

Officials broke ground Thursday on The District, a long-anticipated mixed-use development to be built south of State Highway 45 and northwest of Greenlawn Boulevard in Round Rock.

The project by Mark IV Capital will feature 65.5 acres of retail, multifamily residential, office and green space. First introduced to the City Council in 2017, the project has evolved over the years in response to market demands and community needs, growing from an original 1 million-square-foot plan to at least 3 million square feet of development. Now expected to exceed $500 million in private investment, The District is expected to reach full build-out by 2039.

From the link "Great Lakes Capital and Nebraska Furniture Mart, in partnership with the City of Cedar Park, have announced the development of a full-service Marriott hotel and convention center in Cedar Park, Texas, expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2027....This ambitious project will feature a state-of-the-art hotel with approximately 300 guest rooms, a 30,000-square-foot event and meeting space, a full-service restaurant, a breakfast café, and an expansive pool area"

30,000 sf of meeting space is not a convention center!!! Nice draw, but Convention Center It Is Not.

Man, FINALLY some news about this project. I haven't heard of anything since it was first announced 2 years ago in October (2023)

Need to see new renderings and it breaking ground... hopefully soon

I dont know if it is the same one or a different one but plans are going forward for a surfpark lagoon with very big names attached to that resort style living.

Updates from the CedarView development in Cedar Park. The 7-story Marriott convention hotel just topped out and the shells of the two retail anchors are almost complete.







The retail stores are massive. They will draw in regional crowds.

True. But, in the caption it is lower case and in the article - it is referred to as an event and meeting space.

I don't really think it was meant to be an actual "Convention Center." It's the size of a large Trader Joes.

A lot of celebrities are looking forward to this neighborhood that would be anchored by a wave pool fit for pro surfers. The situation represents a major snag for the ambitious project at the former site of the NLand Surf Park near the airport

https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/q...rth-austin-research-and-office-facility/

AUSTIN (KXAN) — "A new $16 million expansion is coming to North Austin.

Qualcomm, developer of computer processors and wireless technologies, registered plans with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on August 3rd detailing a new 69,940-square-foot expansion to their facility on Center Lake Dr.

According to the filing, the expansion will include new office and research space.

The expansion comes in addition to approximately 90,000 square feet Qualcomm previously built out at the site. The facility finished construction in 2023, according to state records. That project had an estimated cost of $17 million."

So this will be at Techridge where 3M and BAE Systems are also located. Hope this fills up some of those empty buildings that are scattered over there.

Austin– San Marcos Mega City

[wwmiv]

Decker Lake is clearly visible in the background in the aerials shown via the link. This “master plan vision” (or whatever it is) covers a HUGE expanse of land that runs southeast from just south of downtown Manor all the way to the Colorado River between Webberville and Hornsby Bend.

No way to tell exactly where the particular renderings shown in the post above are meant to be within that geography. I imagine as close as possible to the Tesla campus, since that’s what’s going to be driving the residential development.

One thing of note: the aerials show a lack of development in city limits of Austin. The parcels within city limits that extend east of 130 are conspicuously mostly skirted around. The client is listed as “private/public authorities” but the specific land seems to rule out Austin. It isn’t Manor. TravisCo? State of Texas? Is this a master plan in partnership with the Governor’s office at the bidding of Tesla?
