Yeah, I think this is going to be a good one. Those panels over the garage levels look both modern for being metal panels and traditional. I was noticing they complement the brick around the street level pretty nicely.
This also got a 2 foot height bump from 511 feet to 513 feet according to the site plan that was posted again to the AULCC page this week.
The backup file for this was also posted to the Design Commission website this week with the renderings seen in the Towers article and a few more colorized elevations showing it at 513 feet.
Copy+paste, nothing special, but it's handsome and nicely designed. I prefer this kind of copy/paste than those awful poverty siding hotels we've been getting around downtown lately (hotel indigo, homewood suite etc)

I know it, and I agree. Happy to have all 3 copies in our city. Just have to keep drizzling out my bad sim city 2000 jokes as they occur to me.
New elevations dated 07/31 were added to the site plan. No major changes from the first elevations are obvious. The panels on the parking podium moved around a little, and the balconies look slightly different.
Hanover filed for an expedited plan (ePlan) review this week. That's a premium service that the City offers for developers that want to speed up the approval/permitting process. Most projects don't have ePlan filings which would indicated that Hanover wants to get this project moving. ePlans are typically filed while the site plan is under review which is the case with this project. The eplan along with Hanover's track record give me high hopes that Covid might not get in the way of this project.
so proud of our town, that we can seriously expect a 500 footer to break ground soon in a time like this.
I totally forgot about this building. so pumped. I dig it.
I am too, I do too. But I'm not surprised. Despite what's going on, people are still moving here and developers remain bullish about Austin. I am surprised how after only 11 months of us talking about it, that we may be close to this happening. Most of the time we have 2 to 3 years to talk about a project before a shovel of dirt is turned. I also really like the location of this. Awesome spot adding height and density and a tall neighbor for Frost.
Another positive sign for this one. A request for a one year right of way closure on 2nd St and Brazos St beginning 12/15/20 was filed today. This type of permit is not typically filed unless a project is a go.

Super cool. So . . . if all holds true, this one is the next to break ground. Am I missing anything?
I would say the Linden is first. The 12th & Red River Hotel (being called Waterloo Hotel apparently) may be second although it didn't break ground in September as planned at last word. Then it's either this project or Symphony Square. But Symphony Square is still waiting for approval. After these four, we may end up with a clear delineation between the current boom and the next boom.
