Bring it on!!!! Slowly we are getting to a walkable urban core for Domain.

Someone should snap pics of the orange paved bike lanes along Burnet for Uptown. It looks so good.

It's crazy to see a nearly 500' tower potentially coming to the Domain area.

Yes, this project is really going to change the feel of Burnet between Mopac and Braker, as they are filling in the drainage ditches on either side to make the area flat. With the new separate (red) bike path and new sidewalks it will be much more friendly to those not in cars.

Agree with all the comments. Super excited to see more density in the domain area!

Great pictures of the new side walks. Thanks. Still kind of a suburban feel though.

We voted on the corridor improvements a decade ago for Burnet, Airport, Lamar, Riverside, etc. and pretty much none of that work has been done. This might be the very first project.

Planted center medians and pedestrian islands would go a LONG way to fixing this issue, but they keep punting on that because of Project Connect.

There may be no tenants in that black office building. But the orange fins on that building make it stand out amongst the blue glass in the area. Driving south on Mopac from the north gives a great look on the domain skyline.

So, a developer pal of mine suggested a big name "very high end" hotelier was planning to open in Domain around the beginning of '25. They couldn't tell me more, but I'm curious if this has come up here in the past?

No guesses or clues for a brand, but I'm curious about Four Seasons or Mandarin?

If they were going to open in '25, we'd have a site plan filed by now. So, it would be one of the projects going through the entitlement process and must be near approval (or already approved) - as construction would need to commence posthaste in order to deliver in '25.

We vs us · #**2831** Posted **Dec 22, 2023, 7:00 PM**

Agreed. 2025 is too early without plans being filed.

The CVB is tracking a Kimpton to be built as part of Verde Square, due in 2026… is it possible that’s what your friend is talking about?

Urbannizer · #**2832** Posted **Dec 22, 2023, 8:40 PM**

It would have to be under construction now in order to deliver by early 2025. Multi-level structures usually take around 2 yrs to build.

It seems like this building looks different depending on how the sun hits it (or lack thereof). A relative of mine commented on how unique it was compared to everything around, so I had to get a video (was going to either way

)

Oops, I meant break ground in '25!

and yeah, I think different from the Kimpton. No idea but very intrigued...I guess we shall wait and see.

This is literally the best response to a comment I have ever had on this forum in 20 years. Thank you Airwave Dynamics.

clubtokyo · #**2836** Posted **Dec 27, 2023, 1:46 AM**

Nice video! I like that building a lot.

Yep nice vid, and you got some nice late-day sunlight, to boot. It’s also clear just how much land Uptown is playing with, and how much is left to go. In 10 years, that thing is going to be almost as big as the Domain.

Anyone know if 10711 Burnet and Terra are breaking ground this year??

The Terra will not break ground this year because it is all office, and it's is not making much progress towards site plan approval. I am hopeful about the 10711 Burnet project even though no groundbreaking date is set.
