The Austin Community College board of trustees’ plan to redevelop the 81-acre former Highland Mall includes about 40 acres of dense mixed-use development that will surround the core building containing modern educational facilities and space for an incubator.

Great pics, thanks. I think the Gables tower is going to end up being one of the nicer new buildings.
Yeah and once 311 Bowie is finished this area is gonna be arguably the most dense and most aesthetically nicer section of Austin's skyline. Well, at least, I think so...

That it will, and will alter our skyline once Seaholm, 311 Bowie, GW treatment plant and the new Whole Foods new HQ's are built.
Location: Austin -> San Antonio -> Columbia -> San Antonio -> Chicago -> Austin -> Denver -> Austin

Is there anything planned across the street in that empty lot? That's another parcel that's prime for a TOD, although I'd prefer something more VMU than 2900.

That site across the street is for sale if I'm not mistaken, and it would also be great to see VMU in that area as well.
This was Sunday. Apparently it was "dirt removal day", since about the only ones working were the backhoe operator and the endless parade of trucks to haul the dirt away.
Thanks for the update Priller, it is getting deeper. I notice while I was on CC street that they tore down an abandon house and cleared that property that it sat on. The site also faces the convention center, anybody know whats going on there? or have any inside information?

On a random note, I bet they found tons of antique bottles from Austins early days and other such things while digging that site out. Whenever I see new construction in old parts of towns I always check their dirt piles. I collect antique bottles from the 1800s and I can usually find a few good things while they do stuff like this.

I'm sure there are all kinds of goodies in there. As I've mentioned you before, my dad collected bottles. We still have a lot of them. I have pictures of him and his friend from the mid 80s crouched down at the construction site of 301 Congress, which is an office tower on the block north of this hotel. Construction workers at that site also found the fossil of a saber-tooth tiger and a mastodon skeleton. Those fossils are on display in the building's lobby.
