Everything gets moved around a lot here. It’d be nice to know what the moderators here are doing?

The discussion regarding up-zoning Clarksville and other small neighborhoods were moved here.

Some posts on the 4th & Colorado proposal were removed as the discussion was going downhill/lead to trolling, while others are now in a new thread.

Great video showing The Rainey Street District's total of 9 projects soon to be under way at one time. A total of 349 stories tall! Nice to see the block mock-up of the future amazing skyline. And that just shows Rainey, not Downtown! Boom City is Correct.

[We vs us]

Yup, good video. The skyline we're about to get is going to be pretty amazing.

A CVC determination was filed today for 901 Lavaca which is the address of this parking situation. But it is next to the Texas Banker's office building going by the address of 203 W. 10th. Can't rule it out as being related the office project.

Praying to the development gods that it's for the garage.

[dilliam]

If it was the garage, only a 3rd or so of the lot is covered by the CVC, so it could be a pretty good opportunity for some developer.

[StoOgE]

I mean, its a parking garage and a surface parking lot. Hopefully its for both of them.

[MichaelB]

Ideal redevelopment! Yes please. a garage and a empty lot. !

Good rundown of North Austin area projects. I was going to put this in metro, but even the ones in the suburbs are technical in Austin city limits, I believe, and it covers a lot of other places like the Domain, UptownATX, etc., as well. So here you go.

14th Street Apartments

This six-unit apartment creates new affordable housing convenient to downtown – a critical component to maintaining the vitality and energy that makes Austin such a great place to live. The simple concept celebrates the open central stair, which creates an inviting entry and divides the building into two discrete volumes to continue the pedestrian-friendly rhythm of the street. Large north-facing windows afford ample daylight without undo solar heat gain. Restrained detailing throughout creates a simple and serene complex that breathes life into the street and the city.

Here's some good news, ex-post-World Class.

$95M deal lined up to buy sites around The Austonian
World Class has owned land since '12 but lost control of it because of long legal feud

A downtown Austin site at the center of a years-long lawsuit is on the verge of being purchased for $95 million.

According to court records, a company called Third and Congress Owner LLC has agreed to purchase three downtown parcels owned by WC 3rd and Congress LP — an entity owned by World Class Holdings, Nate Paul’s embattled real estate investment firm.

The deal would be for 53,920 square feet on two sides of The Austonian condo tower, but that relatively small space could hold over 1 million square feet of towering office or residential space. The land is currently occupied by a surface parking lot fronting Third Street and low-rise buildings at the corner of Colorado and Second streets.

Windsor Park Apartment Project Trades Steaks for Affordable Homes

A five-story multifamily housing development at the edge of the Windsor Park neighborhood in East Austin is set to bring 308 affordable homes to a prominent empty lot near the southeast corner of I-35 and Highway 290 at Clayton Lane, a 2.5-acre site previously home to a Texas Land & Cattle steakhouse — which closed back in 2018 and was demolished shortly after, remaining fenced-off and vacant ever since.

The apartment community, known as Windsor Park Towers in city filings, will offer 298 of its units to households earning no more than 60 percent of the Austin metro’s median family income, which in 2021 ranged from $41,580 per year for an individual or $59,340 for a family of four. The remaining 10 units will be restricted for families and individuals earning at or below 50 percent of the median family income — as of last year, that’s $34,650 yearly for an individual or $49,450 for a family of four.

[Sigaven]

Much needed! And nice to see that they will have good finishes and appliances in the apartments as well.

[Echostatic]

Can't say it's the best location in the city, but 308 affordable units is great! And it's not affordable the "10 units for 80% MFI" way, but the entire complex at 60% or less. This is a great little project that the city should be emulating in more places.

Well, every site is a good location for a supertall IMO.

I've always felt that Austin's true signature tower would fit nicely right on that lot next to the Austonian. I imagine something visually striking like a modern art deco tower rising to well over 1000ft. I just hope that they don't go the cheap route and build something sub par.
