Is there by any chance a new or current rendering for this project?

Even though my profile says 2003, I actually joined in mid-2001. Then September 11 happened (I was JACKinNYC at the time) and I took a break from looking at tall buildings on the internet. Then I came back in 2003 and had to rejoin for some reason. I think Dylan had gotten a new hosting service or something. Anyway, good to have you back under your new, non-ridiculously stupid, name.

It looks pretty similar - just changed a little. Bonus density will put it at 804', not 802'

Is there a rendering you can share? The one way have is poor quality and looks more like a place holder.

Also, can you confirm the hotel brand as Ritz-Carlton?

It's the internet, no worries.

Interesting. Others on the site have the Ritz brand headed for the the super tall at 98 Red River. With the ground breaking for the super tall scheduled for April things should become clearer as to which brand will be part of that development.

All the sudden, in the span of a couple of years, we'll deliver three luxury properties all clustered around the same area of town. I'm tellin' ya, in a lot of ways, Rainey/Convention Center is the new center of the city.

And the Fairmont.

However, 98 RR does have a much more visible and confirmed luxury hotel component … and it’s clearly moving forward in ways 90 RR still isn’t. I guess I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Ritz as part of our super tall. TBH, what else COULD it be?

I'm also one of those guys. Everything I've heard says the Ritz deal died last year, hasn't been revived, and that nothing will happen with the Travis II site until Travis I is completed.

The other 1 Hotel at 98...however, is definitely alive and kicking.

The news on the Ritz should be out by next week, if not the end of this week.

That's great news! I'd love to be wrong

It would be a wonderful addition to the area.

The ATX · #**112** Posted **Mar 14, 2022, 7:51 PM**

This thread is getting confusing. I deleted some posts, and move posts related to the Hotel 1 speculation to the 98 Red River thread.

This is it:

Unsourced

If this really is it . . . I kinda love it. Much improved over what we saw before. Both towers complement one another . . . and kinda look badass. Sleek. 98 RR is going to CRAZY and whackadoo next to these two.

Echostatic · #**115** Posted **Mar 19, 2022, 2:37 AM**

I really like it. It gives me similar vibes to the Seaholm tower, just vertically stretched.

clubtokyo · #**116** Posted **Mar 19, 2022, 3:06 AM**

Wow if this built our city is on a whole new level with what is already underway.

Jdawgboy · #**117** Posted **Mar 19, 2022, 4:10 AM**

Looks sleek. I like it.

GoldenBoot · #**118** Posted **Mar 19, 2022, 3:57 PM**

If that is really the new version...I love it compared to the old one.

However, without any confirmation that this is the new version and that this project is moving forward with the new design, I'll withhold my excitement...for a bit.

ILUVSAT · #**119** Posted **Mar 19, 2022, 7:52 PM**

Sleek! I really like it. Looking forward to more renderings.

AusTex · #**120** Posted **Mar 19, 2022, 8:15 PM**

Oh what a nice change from the previous rendering. Two building that relate to each other and are attractive. I look forward to more renderings. That's when a more formal critique can be given. Regardless; what a tall and handsome skyline Austin has in the making!
