This took a while to start. A site plan was first filed in 2018. A ROW closure shows the tower crane going up in early January. It also looks like the house is gone.

Hold up, what?? Maybe it was at least temporarily relocated? I thought the house was going to be incorporated into the new building.

That's a cool story in the Towers article - how a failed shopping center couldn't move the house and this tower will be built in its backyard. The house will be a permanent structure and will serve as a community space for seniors. That's actually a creative solution. The tower itself isn't the most attractive one ever, but you can't win 'em all. Either way, this creative solution does show the continued trend of increasing levels of density in the core of our city.

Does anyone know what's planned for the old East Central Storage site at 853 Airport Blvd? They've been doing demo on the storage units this week. That area is building housing all over, but this site seems a bit small and awkwardly shaped.

Welp. I guess you have to have storage places. At least they're building a new cut-through for LASA traffic, though probably unintentionally.

Paradisa Homes wants to raise an apartment building in East Austin
Quote:
Paradisa Homes LLC’s plan to bring 144 new apartments to East Austin has gained a nod of support from City Hall with a recommendation from the Austin Planning Commission backing the company's site plan.

The Eddy, as the project is named, is set to rise on an undeveloped 3.3-acre site at 6620 Ed Bluestein Blvd., which would bring another large apartment structure along U.S. Route 183 near the University Hills neighborhood.

Whoa. That went up fast. Love the cantilever. They'll have a great view of the pit that will be i35 for the next decade.

So this one is 2 floors of office space and 2 floors of parking? Pretty underwhelming for that location.

Maybe so, but the area east of 35, especially between 4th and 11th is really starting to get bulky and urban. It used to be essentially nothing but single story buildings on the Eastside, other than the RBJ building.

For the first time it's starting to feel like you're driving through downtown on 35, versus by downtown.

Yea and just wait until we get a couple of 20+ story buildings east of 35. There's that one that's going up where that Dennys is. I think that one is around 20 stories.
