lol get it???

ANYWHO, you know it's getting bad when conversation moves into light argument banter. A sign that this project needs to get going soon.

Oh I get plenty of mancard, if you know what I mean.

I would never ever say "bro' or "bruh" in a real conversation. I also really, really hate the use of "Seriously?" and "Are you kidding me?" as a response to anything. Goldenboot is going to have to chime in again to get us back on track here.

The one that irks me, for some reason, but it seems to be going away, thank God, is "Absolutely!"

Someone has to keep our focus!?!

Is there any clue as to who may be managing the "hotel" portion of this project?

No, and it seems to be a fairly small part of the overall project with only 150 rooms.

I lost my deck unfortunately lol

It won't be much longer before the Waller Creek tunnel is complete. Maybe we will hear something this summer About when construction may start.

How about the massive abuse that the word "literally" has suffered in recent years? It drives me absolutely nuts.

The Waller project is literally taking forever to break ground. But once it's built it will literally dominate that part of the skyline.

I like to think that it will figuratively dominate the skyline. Or metaphysically...yeah, let's go with that one. Metaphysical buildings. We can build anything we want that way.

Tech House · #**370** Posted **Mar 19, 2015, 5:53 AM**

By gadfrey, drummer, I think you've hit the head on the nail ---- the Waller project is metaphysical in nature, thus we won't be seeing it manifest in the ordinary physical realm, unless we're under the influence of ayahuasca and guided by a shaman.

From the article I posted in the 70 Rainey thread. This quote is from Mac Pike about the Waller Park Place project:

“We will receive our site development permit in the next few days from the City of Austin which will enable us to finalize our plans,” Pike said. “We remain excited to get the project moving forward and seeing the Waller Creek project on its way.”

Very good to hear. Thanks.

KevinFromTexas · #**373** Posted **Apr 4, 2015, 6:12 AM**

Well today is Friday, so next week sometime, hopefully.

Tech House · #**374** Posted **Apr 4, 2015, 5:06 PM**

Wow, this is thrilling, we're almost certain to get the Independent, Austin Proper, Fifth and West, Fifth and Brazos, and Waller Park Place. Not to mention everything that's already under construction. Say hello to the new Austin. In 5 years this is going to look like a world-class city, and as the dust settles on all the infrastructure changes and repairs downtown and the new buildings become occupied, we'll find ourselves living in a city with a very walkable and vibrant downtown. Not that it isn't already, but it's been in quite a mess for a few years now.

The ATX · #**375** Posted **Apr 7, 2015, 9:07 AM**

This project is getting bigger. Here's a new article that quotes Mac Pike. The towers are now 56, 46 and 29-stories. It says the 56-story tower will be the tallest building downtown based on the elevation of the site.

It would be amazing to have not one, but two buildings that will usurp the Austonian. Austin will truly look world-class before the end of the decade.

The skyline will have that urban feng shui look with three separate high rise clusters centered around 650'-700' towers. Awesome.
