Demo permits for 61 & 69 Rainey were filed last summer, and I thought that was all that would be demo'ed. But a demo permit was filed today for the neighboring bungalow at 71 Rainey. I believe this was that last residence on Rainey, and it was planned to become a bar prior to Covid.

...or a great reminder of the humble beginnings and potential rehab for a cool bar or restaurant that would help balance the canyon in the making.
I would have been perfectly fine with it becoming a new bar...but nothing has changed with that property for years, so I'm glad SOMETHING is finally happening.
A little more info was added to the HLC website about the 71 Rainey demo. The plan is to partially demo the house then build an addition. That sounds like a bar/restaurant which means it is not part of River Street Residences.
Still no signs of activity on the online site plan app since they got the zoning change. But today they filed for temporary electrical service to site for the project, and it was billed to DPR construction.
This project had a second site plan to bury the utility lines running across the site. It was approved and released today which means site prep could start soon. The permit fell under the radar because it didn't appear connected to the project at first glance - especially with the City building a transformer farm in Rainey. But the LLC of the owner/applicant listed in one of the attachments can be traced to High Street Residential/Trammell-Crow in Dallas.
Could someone share the link to a recent rendering? Forgot what this one looked like, thanks! It's nice that it's right around 44 East's height. Only 4 feet shy. Awesome!!
Whoa, that's amazing!! Thanks for sharing
That'll be beautiful. Highly looking forward to this. It's good architecture. Decently thin too! But wide facing 35. Wow. Loving some of these new towers
I'm excited for Lake Flato. I believe this is their first tower? Everything I've seen of their smaller projects is fantastic, amazing use of materials, a kind of modern Central Texas vernacular. I hope they knock this one out of the park and it leads to more large-scale projects for them here, it would be great to have a local firm shaping Austin's skyline.
