I'm liking those bike lanes for photo ops. No more creeping out from under the trees with an eye to traffic.

You should still watch for traffic since bike lanes are traffic lanes. For some reason so many people think bike lanes are sidewalks.

Oh, I know. If I'm in the bike lane at all it's because I'm on my bike.

Sounds good. Stay out of trouble.

This one fell halfway down the second page. We're a busy city.

Now that the basementing is done, that thing is going to shoot up, IMO.

So much core, so little floor space!

I was just thinking that, too! Was wondering how many rooms per floor they're going to end up having. That footprint is hella skinny.

For real....sooooo tiny! I love it!! Can you imagine if we got 416 Congress to actually happen? Skinny Congress tower siblings!

Yep....gotta have the elevators AND two staircases! I'm impressed they actually made it work in such a thin building, tbh

Let's hope so! This is an underrated project and important for that area. 8th and congress? Not many tall buildings in that part, just the thicc omni! Lol

Skinny is phat.

I'll just add that I wish they'd put the proposed Masonic lodge skinny tower at 8th and Colorado where Iron Bear used to be. It would add to the skinny tower around Congress neighborhood.
It would fit much better there than crammed up against the Comerica building at seventh and Lavaca.

ahealy · #**314** Posted **Nov 20, 2020, 4:40 PM**

I love love love the masonic lodge render. That's totally dead, right?

Echostatic · #**315** Posted **Nov 29, 2020, 6:35 PM**

This should start flying up now that the tower is above the neighboring theater.

Echostatic · #**316** Posted **Dec 10, 2020, 6:22 PM**

Rising quickly.

I am really excited for this one. It's going to look amazing. It's too bad the light rail won't just go down Congress. I'd love to see more improvements to that part of the city, and some Main Street in Houston vibes with bars, restaurants and a train line right down the road would be great for Austin.

I dunno, I don't like the way Houston's main street looks with the rail lines down it. Makes it look very messy.

So slender! This one is going to be unique. I'm ready!

Why's it taking so long???
