" The Orchard" development at Pleasant Valley and Webberville is starting to fill in.

And another new development tucked in behind the Orchard, I'm not sure what it's called.

I like the colors too but a little variation to the window shapes/sizes would have been nice.

Not really a fan of that one. Looks like an old motel to me.

It has a Fresh Plus grocery story on the ground floor according to the rendering.

I'm surprised we aren't talking about this (x-posted in Projects and Construction, Plaza Saltillo, and Updates threads):

Quote:

The vision/conceptual plan is by Torti Gallas and Partners. Michael Hsu is the lead local architect, so the aesthetics will match the design sensibilities of his other popular projects, including the ZACH Theatre, 04 Mixed-Use Development (Perla’s), and Lamar Union.

Before breaking down the details on the final Plaza Saltillo development, I’ll venture a guess that the office tenant will be a major tech company. I find it peculiar that there was no office space envisioned when Endeavor pitched to become the site developer, which leads me to believe the office space is not being built on spec, but on the signed line of an anchor tenant. Further, I’ve heard recently from a credible source that a major Fortune 500 tech giant is flirting with a sizable investment in Austin’s urban core. Again, this is just a semi-informed guess, but there you have it.

The Chicon mixed-use project achieved a major milestone late last month when neighbors and community members gathered for a groundbreaking celebration in east Austin.

In the making for the past three years, h+uo architects is proud to be helping usher this important neighborhood revitalization project into reality.

n Phase 1, two of the three buildings, The Joyce Building and the Gibbs Building, will be built at the intersection of 13th and Chicon St. in east Austin. Phase 1 is expected to be completed in December of 2016.

Does anyone know the status on these? The cement forms for the first floors of both buildings were poured months ago and there are construction fences around both lots. I drive by almost everyday and have not seen any workers on site since at least early summer.

Nifty. I like that this design breaks up the usual monotony of these mixed-use projects. In fact, seeing this makes me realize that it's the monotony on the horizontal dimension that I most dislike about most of what's going up on the east side. This is a refreshing change.

The Rail at MLK Station

Proposed 6-story residential on E. 17th St. project by Lone Star Development Partners.

Edit: No rendering for this one yet, the one at the link below is for a project in Seattle.

I'm tallying about 1,150 units on East 5th street between IH-35 and Chicon that are either under review or under construction, plus an undetermined number at one of the MUs. For E. 7th street there are about 400 units at various stages.

I have not heard anything on the RBJ expansion for quite a while.

Cd1076 · #19 Posted **Jan 5, 2016, 5:28 AM**

The RBJ expansion is still happening. I attended an East Cesar Chavez planning team meeting 2 or 3 months ago and a group of the developers gave a presentation on the expansion. There will be a large grouping of 4-5 story units around the RBJ tapering down to shorter units as they get closer to single family homes. The developers are wanting to connect Navasota st through the property as a main thoroughfare to connect to to Waller st near Flores st if I remember correctly.

There's also been a new apartment complex proposed where the failed Cesar Chavez hotel was supposed to go. Here's some info/renderings:

Great. Is there a plan online? Punching Navasota through is a good idea. Living in this neighborhood I am not opposed to more than 4-5 stories as RBJ is already 14 (or more).

Yes I heard the new units on C. Chavez will be micro and I expect less opposition to this compared to the hotel. That is ironic given that one of the arguments against the hotel was the traffic it generated and the fact that it was slated to be 65 rooms versus 260 micro units in the latest plan.
