Good point. There's really a huge amount of potential up that way -- between open tracts of land (which are admittedly now filling in) and low land value warehouses, light industrial, that sort of thing. I don't know the official boundaries of the gateway if there is such a thing, but just knowing it (lived there for my first year and a half in Austin) you can see from the street that there's a whole lot more to do.
In re: the metro station -- I think you're right that two would be overkill with the system as it it (single lane, two cars per train, limited number of trips) and even as it could be in the near future . . . but I could definitely see a more advanced station being built on the IBM property, with better right of ways, parking, pedestrian access, etc. As it stands now, the Kramer platform really seems an afterthought, with not much physical room to make it improvements.
