I was walking on Riverside and Burton about 11:45pm on Wednesday and the cops stopped traffic to let some trucks through. They were shipping Lustre Pearl to I dunno where (they turned on Burton towards the river). But it was crazy seeing them move the place.

It made it's way to East Cesar Chavez, east of Pleasant Valley:

Thanks for the update. Do you have any idea where the other homes being moved for the Millennium are being trucked off to?

I wish I knew. It looked like the same company was moving all of the homes. I regret not asking, I live just on the other side of 35 and I saw them out there prepping them to move.

They're transplanting all of Rainey street down south. Haven't you heard?! http://www.kvue.com/entertainment/Wa...253990471.html it's gonna be "Rainey street on steroids". Ok, I kid I kid...

Homecreek · #8 Posted **May 22, 2014, 6:16 AM**

The lot is still owned by the same guys who were planning to build the Hotel. Fingers crossed?!

A few photos I took today around Austin

The Westin finally rising out of the ground.

Millennium Rainey is pretty much U/C. Notice the rebar sticking behind the fence.

Crane at the Hotel Granduca site.

Also a tower crane base is on site for the new parking garage behind where the Dropbox location will be.

Nice updates. Those projects don't get much attention since their cranes are outliers in the sea of cranes - if that makes any sense.

I gotcha Hill Country.

It just so happened that I wanted to take a trip out on 360 today, so I grabbed my tablet and headed west. Though the area is feeling quite different with all the office and residential projects going on out there.

This would be a decent way to "un-ug" some of our blank facades.

Much better than blank. The first pic on the weburbanist page is even more incredible. If there is a way to incorporate lighting, even better. But I think it would be better without painting in people.

Pretty neat idea. There's a few old ones similar to that in Quebec City. I'll try to find them.

But honestly, I'd be just fine with the blank ends of buildings if they just had a little bit of design effort put into them. Don't need windows. But give us something that provides texture and depth.

A new Emerging Projects List was released. The only new thing that I noticed at first glance was the Green Water Block 23 office tower with a start date of later this year:

What about IBC's hotel proposal for land they own at 6th & Nueces? Has anyone heard of this project?

Interesting...

And what about the multifamily project at 8th/I-35..... haven't heard about that one before as well.

And what about the project at 1210 Barton Springs Rd? It says the project will include an 80-room hotel, 30 condo units and an art gallery. It's where Jack & Adam’s Bicycles is now at the south end of the Butler Pitch & Putt between that Jack in the Box and the railroad bridge.

I notice that Jack and Adam's Bicycles is planning on moving from there into the Cole Building at 300 S. Lamar and their goal is to be moved into the new location by June 1, 2014.
