Cities in America with a 1000+ ft tower:

New York
Chicago
Philadelphia
Los Angeles
San Francisco
Atlanta
Houston

That would be quite the company for Austin to be in. Those seven are among the top twelve metro areas in the country.

The city is planning to close the municipal court building March 18.

A backup file was posted to the planning commission for the redevelopment of 2001 Guadalupe Street with 66 new residential units and retail for a quarter of the block. This is immediately south of the Dobie Center.

Chik Fil A is opening a restaurant in the One America building downtown.

That's it, that's the headline.

Yeah, this will have a HUGE negative impact on the local economy.

Still, probably better to be safe than sorry...

Finally, fine dining has arrived downtown!! Or at least one year from now.

It won't be as crowded this year. It'll be more like 1987.

I will never understand the obsession with over processed chicken. Gross.

Because it tastes so good?

clubtokyo · #**6791** Posted **Mar 6, 2020, 11:30 PM**

Tried it a few times to check the hype. Just gross. My grandmother could make a mean fried chicken sandwich from the chickens she raised.

I updated the project list in the sticky thread. There weren't too many updates since the February list. I suspect we could be at the peak of the current boom.

Waterloo Central - 701 E. 5th

That’s a sharp little building.

Echostatic · #**6795** Posted **Mar 10, 2020, 2:57 PM**

This is the gas pipe site, which is under the I-35 CVC. This is good usage for the area.

The Gas Pipe......?

We vs us · #**6797** Posted **Mar 10, 2020, 3:55 PM**

That lot isn't very big, but glad to see someone building up under a CVC nonetheless.

Won't the I-35 CVC's be obsolete with the new plan to bury it thru downtown?

Echostatic · #**6799** Posted **Mar 10, 2020, 4:14 PM**

Current (ish) site conditions:

Yes, they'd be obsolete. That doesn't mean they'd be removed. They'll definitely still be in place for another decade or so.
