PS - Got an idea. This could be the beginning phase of our underground transit network. Screw starting in downtown. Start here, run underground all the way to dt and then the airport, SOCO etc. We've got a great start with the transit station sized hole in the ground!

For now, could we fill it with water, add in some giant pumps, etc., and make a new surf spot? It seems to be all the rage in Austin these days.

Musk should buy it and put the Twitter HQ there. Lots of free advertising with a big Twitter sign on it so close to Q2 Stadium to be viewed on TV during televised games.

AE Design Intake for this address.

"Requesting a dip/relocation along Burnet Rd in front of the stadium tower development."

Does this have anything to do with the actual project?

Looks like the applicant does work for projects so very very likely.

A lake has formed.

That poor little skidsteer, left alone on an island in Lake Q2.

But seriously, that can't be good for the site. At least the crane bases are out of the water.

I saw today they are putting up a basic wooden fence around the big pit. It is basically what you would see in a suburban neighborhood, as a way to block the view and keep people out.

Lake Q2. Swim at your own risk.

As much as I'd rather see some development/housing fill it in, I'd be ecstatic to see another swimming hole open up.

Shouldn't be too hard to make a natural pool out of a pit.

Careful, all the tech bro transplants will think it's swimmable just like they do with town lake in the summer.

I mean, it's perfectly fine to swim in. Its basically for liability reasons why it's not technically allowed. https://www.austintexas.gov/blog/lad...iction-or-fact.

In fact, the swimming leg of the CapTex triathlon last week takes place in town lake.

You could do town lake, but I'll pass until we have an antitoxin for the blue algae thing. no thanks

They now have brand new ~12 foot wooden fences surrounding the site. I guess they heard you all.

JoninATX · #16 Posted **Jul 13, 2023, 12:49 AM**

Now they have removed the crane base that was on site.

myBrain · #17 Posted **Jul 13, 2023, 5:13 PM**

Shouldn't it be pretty straightforward to drop the office and convert to apartments? Crazy that this one has been inactive for so long.

mtb_jeremy · #18 Posted **Jul 13, 2023, 8:33 PM**

I'd be interested to see them join the property with the lots next door and reimagine the development across the adjoining lots.

The ATX · #19 Posted **Jul 15, 2023, 8:49 PM**

An update to the site plan was approved in June. But the filing had no information as to what it was.

Wow
Kilroy has spent $66M so far on stalled tower

Quote:

Kilroy (NYSE: KRC) reported spending $66.1 million on Stadium Tower as of June 30, according to its second quarter earning report, released July 31. That was up from the $54.8 million as of Sept. 30, 2022, about one month before Kilroy halted construction on the project because of concerns about the economy, leaving a hole in the ground next to Q2 Stadium.

"We intend to hold off on the construction of Stadium Tower, our Austin development site, until the economy gives us more confidence or we pre-lease a substantial portion of the project," John Kilroy, Kilroy chairman and CEO, told investors in an October 2022 earnings call.
