3-story multifamily building. https://abc.austintexas.gov/public-searc...n=12955734&t_selected_propertyrsn=590216

What a shame that this is (presumably) the most you can build on a lot this close to campus.

NIMBYs!

I thought this might be interesting to some. This link is for a map to see all the different street camera locations in Austin.

Granted several of the webcams are not operational at this time, you can check them out by clicking on the blue diamonds and then clicking the arrow in the upper right corner of the pop-up to go to Page (2 of 2). Clicking on the image opens the link to the camera in a new tab.

The original Z’Tejas Southwestern Grill, a fixture on West Sixth Street for 33 years, is on track to close by next March to make way for a new real estate development.

A five-story vertical mixed-use development planned for more than two acres of frontage along West Sixth Street could bring a boutique hotel, residences, office space, and significant ground-floor retail to the Clarksville region west of downtown Austin, according to a presentation earlier this week by local developers Riverside Resources to the Architectural Review Committee of the city’s Historic Landmark Commission.

Austin builders are starting a lot of new homes. Finishing them is not so simple.

https://www.kut.org/austin/2022-07-13/au...ew-homes-finishing-them-is-not-so-simple

For much of the pandemic, the homebuilding industry has endured delays because of supply chain issues: One month builders can’t get door handles. The next, it's door hinges, windows and refrigerators. And now this shortage has converged with another: a lack of employees. Like other industries, construction companies are straining to keep workers. The result? The time between starting a house and finishing it is longer than usual — and perhaps longer than ever.

But finishing these homes quickly also feels more urgent than ever. As rising mortgage interest rates have made homebuying more expensive, fewer people are lining up to bid for homes. Builders want to get these houses on the market before interest rates go up again and more people are locked out of homebuying.

Untangling this mess, one builder said, is delicate.

“It's like a big, knotted ball of yarn,” said Tammy Schneider, vice president of sales and marketing at Brookfield Residential. “You have to figure out, 'What string can I pull, or where can I start to unknot it and not make the knot worse or more difficult to get?'”

It's the top of 98 Red River in bigly form.

Looks nice, I sort of wish they would put some more money into the little rotunda thing out front. Its nice in concept but the execution is lacking.

[We vs us]

Is that something that's definitely happening?

[chinchaaa]

I wish they'd just knock it down, and start from scratch.

Hey Austin, Maybe a 5-Story Building Next to a Train Station Isn’t the Move

https://austin.towers.net/hey-austin-may...g-next-to-a-train-station-isnt-the-move/

A five-story office project in a fast-growing northwestern district of downtown Austin has recently entered the early stages of construction, as you might have already noticed from the various fences now raised around the northwest corner of West 15th and San Antonio Streets. As described in our coverage from over a year ago, the project will replace a roughly quarter-acre surface parking lot at 502 West 15th Street with a structure developed by local private equity firm Scenic Capital Advisors and designed by Austin architecture studio Andersson / Wise, containing three levels of offices over two floors of structured parking, the first digging partially underground to keep the building beneath its height limit of 60 feet. (More on that later.)

Wow, that looks like much better use of the land at that location. Lots of stores, offices and transportation immediately next to it. I wish it could be a few stories taller since there a no single family homes (NIMBYs) anywhere close to the site. However, the neighborhood association would have fits with even two more floors, even though it would not burden the roads! Northwest Hills is basically suburbia in attitude.
