Can someone post a list of all the buildings currently under construction, proposed, and the ones that are approved but haven't started construction?

Hmm...I've seen stranger bottlenecks for traffic.

Wow, nice plans for the Domain, finally some height! And that Pleasant Valley apartment complex is very nice IMO.

Domain 8 is 167 feet with 11 floors, according to the site plan. At that height it would be the tallest building outside of downtown, south shore, west campus and the UT campus - so taller than anything outside of the central skyline. These are sure to be taller than Domain 8.

I would be surprised if there wasn't another full service hotel somewhere in there as well.

Curbed has posted a downtown Austin construction map. Most of the information is already covered in this forum, but it's a nice format for an easy-access map.

I also love pic 3, but pic 1 is kind of depressing.

So what becomes of foundation park (Now "Hope Gallery")? Or am I misunderstanding the location of this. I know there's a significant structure being built just in front of it but these plans look like they're right where people do the graffiti artwork.

This is to the west between Blanco and the 'Castle' with the graffiti park being to the east between the 'Castle' and Baylor.

Depending on what they define as the "hospital", this could be massive. If it's everything from 45th to 38th excluding Central Market, etc, this would be a massive massive boost to the Lamar corridor (and a big sell for rail along that route). Would love to see The Triangle essentially extended south.

I can't imagine why they would keep part it. There is so much value in that entire property.

Hyde Park NA will fight this for years!

They'll want mixed density in this area, yes, but I think they'd love getting rid of the negative spillover from the crowd that a government hospital typically brings.

Is there a link anyone can provide to the news on the Austin State Hospital? Thanks in advance.
