East Austin Developments

[The ATX]

And 50 years from now people will be trying to preserve them as examples of the architectural style of their time.

A week or two ago I noticed several tall cranes go up at the intersection of Springdale and Airport. They say "Level 10" on them. The construction company has this featured project on their website: https://www.level10gc.com/project/sp...-green-campus/

Maybe its a netted area you can lay on? Not quite sure, but that's the impression I get from it, haha.

The virtual tour of this project is pretty impressive: https://springdalegreen.com/virtual/

The netted seating area is toward the bottom right of the map.

Love them curves.

Someone could make a fortune picking up all the lost phones and keys and wallets and things that'll be underneath that netting on the ground.

Good find. I agree. If the final product looks anything remotely like this virtual tour, it'll be fantastic.

I hang out in that area regularly and it'll be nice to have a new place to hang out.

I've seen netted areas like that in Southeast Asia near Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore. It's a neat way to feel like you're floating above a more natural area while providing a lounge-type atmosphere. Little tricky to drink a cup of coffee, but comfortable to read a book or just hang out. Definitely a newer trend.

That is totally gorgeous and the netted pathway is exactly the type of public activation Austin park spaces need.

Really hoping the building doesn't get skimmed down

Step Inside East Austin’s Transformative Springdale Green Office Project

https://austin.towers.net/step-insid...ffice-project/

The Springdale Green office development now underway at Springdale Road and Airport Boulevard in East Austin represents nearly an ideal future for a former industrial site with an almost 50-year backstory of poisoning its neighborhood. This 30-acre property operated from the 1940s to the 1990s as a “tank farm” for the above-ground storage of petroleum products, its facilities located only feet from nearby residential properties — a result of the city’s racially segregated zoning patterns placing the vast majority of undesirable industrial facilities to the east of I-35.

Turns out we need to protect the single-family character of the area despite the fact such homes are now starting at $1.2M in the area. Really does not make sense that the City of Austin gives these contact teams so much power and authority yet does not train them nor are there any requirements that they help to achieve city goals for housing, transit ridership, tax base to pay for services or anything else. Just a great place to show up and NIMBY and chase reasonable ppl away.

This went before committee yesterday and was approved so it will be 85' tall which is what the desired build-out was planned to be.

Correct! Final vote passed City Council on a vote of 10-1 (CM Tovo against...). Such a nice addition to the area and feet from a Red Line stop--no-brainer!

I can't figure out this location. Is that in front of the Tyndall?
