Note: On the "Waller Park Place" page of Sutton's website they have removed renderings and changed the description of the project. It barely mentions a "residential tower" and makes no reference of office or hotel space.

However, it does make a small mention of this project in their "Other Projects" area of the site. But, that info seems to be old...siting an early 2015 groundbreaking.

Renderings are front and center on the link you provided. Maybe you pissed them off, and they decided to put them back up.

Really? Huh...the only pictures I see (on my end) are two pictures of The Plaza, one picture of the Brazos Lofts, one picture of the Avenue Lofts, and one close up rendering of what seems to be landscaping around a creek (Waller, I assume). The pictures rotate.

I'm curious...where are you looking? I don't seem to be getting errors when uploading their page.

When I click the Sutton "website" link in the post you made earlier, it takes me straight to a page featuring renderings and info about Waller Creek project. Let's try it here: http://suttoncompany.com/ Yep. Still loads with renders and text. The text is mostly about landscaping at the creek, not much mention of the actual project.

KevinFromTexas · #**604** Posted **Feb 18, 2016, 7:27 PM**

I see them.

the Genral · #**605** Posted **Feb 18, 2016, 8:54 PM**

I see dead people, er, Waller Creek Project buildings.

ILUVSAT · #**606** Posted **Feb 18, 2016, 10:26 PM**

I see them too.

Hey Boot, pop-up blocker issues? Check your security settings.

GoldenBoot · #**607** Posted **Feb 19, 2016, 5:43 PM**

Yep. Thanks. Sorry about that. Damn pop-up blocker. I see them now.

They are almost prettier when you can't see them.

Looks like the design has been scaled back a bit.

I've heard a rumor (from a credible source) that Sutton has a substantial offer on the table to the owners of the next door condos, the Villas. Wonder if that has slowed things down.

Some family friends own a condo at the Villas and have confirmed this rumor.

Do you know if it has been accepted?

With the right structural engineering, they could maybe add 50+ floors on top of this at a later time if needed.

Can confirm there have definitely been discussions as I know of someone who lives in that building. (Truly my mom's friend's friend so it's removed source lol) but from what I've heard there was a hold up as the residents feel they'd never get equal value for what the current price of square footage would be in a similar location. I personally thought they could have arranged a deal where Villas residents get some discount on the future new units and maybe talks have heated up again.

I didn't realize it was Sutton exploring that land though. Would they expand the Waller Park Place project even further. Wasn't it already ambitious enough?

The ATX · #**617** Posted **Mar 14, 2016, 9:38 PM**

They have the surface lot next to the IHOP, the WPP site and now the Villas (maybe)? They also had the Millennium site until they sold it instead of building their awesome Gateway proposal. I don't have much faith in Sutton when it comes to building anything. They seem to be mainly land holders/sellers.

The amount for our friends would be roughly $950K..I don't know if the residents have a right of refusal, if so, one resident could kill the deal

Austintowers is reporting that the remainder of the site (south of Willow St.) was cleared this week.

But no other news regarding what will actually happen next?
