The Avenue has no podium at all. That's what makes it a bonafide first class development for Austin, it's 100% urban and will only go to enhance the urban fabric of the city.
That's the reason I've been waiting anxiously for this one. The developer building this is one of the very few that sees car-less potential in the ATX. That's a big deal to me because it indicates the quality of the build rather than quantity. This developer respects Austin and as far as I'm concerned that respect is mutual so long as they actually start construction and build the thing already...
