Small trek, but you can always park at LBJ library/UT. Might give a chance to grab some photos around the stadium and other nearby expansions and projects. Parked there for years as a commuter student instead of a parking pass as it was right by the school of music. May very well be more convenient spots, but that is a reliable option in my experience.

EDIT: And FREE!

This could be the beginning of a project in the works. A Land Status Determination was filed today for three lots on Block 49 at 701 W. 6th. I don't feel like doing the research now, but isn't that the possible Kairoi residential site?

Yes, that's the one: https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/developer-buys-west-sixth-street-site-for-apartment-tower/

CVC covers a good portion of the site. The ATX had an image of this back in May 2020 but it no longer exists.

That can be recreated from wwmiv's excellent CVC map in the development info stick thread. Another triangle shaped tower?

Thank you for the shout out.

It was well deserved. That map is a great resource - especially for researching the potential of new projects.

Looks like they finally started the permitting process. Maybe we'll get some project info soon.

Echostatic · #**7511** Posted **Aug 25, 2021, 9:58 PM**

This'll be very similar in shape to Fifth & West.

Didn't realized you put that together for us - have been using that for years. Thanks for the amazing contributions to our community. I wouldn't be surprised if developers use your CVC map resource in their early planning.

Local Developer Proposing 326-Unit Project on Three Lots in Old West Austin

Quote:

An Austin developer was recommended for zoning that will permit construction of three buildings totaling 326 residential units, at Tuesday’s meeting of the Planning Commission.

The 3.189-acre (138,912 SF) property in Old West Austin will convert from general commercial services (CS) to planned development area–neighborhood plan (PDA-NP) combining district.

The property is made up of three lots, with lots one and two at 1.07-acres (46,696 SF), and lot three at 0.94-acres (41,257 SF).

They are located north of the West Austin Youth Association baseball fields of Ladybird Lake-Lamar Beach Metro Park, at 300 and 301 Pressler Street, and 1505 W 3rd St.

The working title of the project is Parcel 1, 2, 3 300/301 Pressler & 1505 W 3rd St.

Two 3,200 square-foot warehouses and a 3,750 square-foot garage stand on Lot 1 and a 9,480 square-foot warehouse used for party bus rentals is on the abutting lot. Several residencies are located on Lot 3.

Donald J. Reese with Riverside Resources owns the property through the entity Pressler RRI, LP.

Reese proposes to construct an apartment building on each lot, with 98-units on Lot 1, 143-units on Lot 2 and 85-units on Lot 3.

Yeah, they should hire me.

So, I am not opposed to this, but they need to do some *serious* improvements to the street connections if this is going to happen. I mean, these are on the other side of the train tracks, and there is only a single "major" street in Pressler and it cannot handle that sort of traffic. Reserve Rd is an even worse possible solution unless they are going to completely redo the CC/Lamar interchange.

Also, that is going to be a one and done lease - its going to be so noisy late at night.

The developer has been working for years with the City and UPRR to put in quiet zone crossings as Pressler and Paul.

Amaya Mixed-Use

Mixed-Use multifamily proposed for somewhere along I-35. Their Instagram page mentions they received neighborhood approval to rezone the site.

The building with the arches almost looks as if they're retrofitting an older building to work with the new project. Does anyone recognize that?

dilliam · #**7520** Posted **Aug 31, 2021, 8:04 PM**

The building in the background looks a lot like an old La Quinta so I did a bit of digging and I'm pretty certain its the La Quinta at the corner of I35 and 290. Across 290 from ACC Highland.
