Love the new design!! UGHHH *drool*

Looks like something out of Vancouver. Actually, it reminds me of 3344 Peachtree in Atlanta. I need this to come to fruition nooow! ^_^

WOW! I like it.

With regard to its construction start date, Robert Lee has already indicated it will be in the next cycle. Thus, if built, probably not until the later part of 2017 or early 2018.

I think that is all residential, where is the Class A? There are balconies all around on every floor. That would be highly unlikely for Class A. I like that the sloped south side has balconies down the slope and that the building narrows to the west allowing all those balconies views of town lake and hill country.

That makes me think this is not the final rendering. Since this won't be starting anytime soon, they may have included office in the site plan in case they decide to add office space later.

Woo! I'm excited for this one.

The developer has also updated their webpage for the project.

That is going to be one hot pool deck, with that huge south facing mirror pointing down at the ants...I mean swimmers.

Hopefully this won't become too much off a problem. The Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas is known for it's "death ray" that causes severe burns in the pool area due to the refraction of the rays, and I suppose that could occur with this one too if the angles line up. Something to keep an eye on.

I hope this tower and 70 Rainey come to fruition. They will be a very nice additions to this part of downtown and the skyline in general. Especially since they will be so prominent from IH-35. Now, I just with Manchester didn't screw with the original Fairmont design. Oh, well...

ivanwolf · #17 Posted **Sep 18, 2015, 3:42 PM**

This is a great building, one of my favorite yet.

The ATX · #18 Posted **Apr 18, 2016, 9:20 PM**

This awesome project had dropped all the way to the bottom of page 2. Time for a bump. May 1st 2016 was the last given start date. That seemed a long way off at one time, but not anymore. The most recent activity on the Site Plan was March 1st, so it's still moving along.

With this one and 70 Rainey, we're going to have a couple of gems in that area of the skyline. This one has the potential to be spectacular.

I agree and if this one starts up soon than we will have 2 highrises going up at the same time in the Rainey District. 3 if you count the shorter and rather unflattering hotel going up by the access road.
