I mean, "cancel everything" should have been the dead give away. But tbh it's kinda more fun when people take you seriously.

I knew you were kidding. You've been around long enough for us to know you are NOT anti construction.

Damn, so this ones been canceled?

[StoOgE]

No, it's still happening.

The City has a moratorium on ROW permits Downtown during the Spring and Fall festival seasons. Everybody in the industry should be well aware of this by now. They have been doing it for over a decade. Closures that are already in place are allowed to remain for safety reasons, but work has to halt within the ROW, and new closures are not allowed.

That's not good! Would think the developers and construction managers would have known this and planned accordingly.

This is how rumors get started...

"Did you hear that supertall in Austin was cancelled? I read it on the internet, so it must be true!"

1 sardonic/sarcastic quote and all hell breaks loose in an otherwise reasonable thread LOL imagine that.

[migol24]

It sincerely wasn't my intention to derail this thread. I thought my dumb comment would just get ignored like most of my comments. Lol

It shouldn't come as a surprise that a project of this caliber will have some setbacks. I'm just trying to imagine the amount of construction going on once all buildings break ground.

I have a lot of questions about this particular permit being denied. Like, why was it denied and what steps do these projects have to do to get the city to approve?

I imagine this is something that should be done over night on a weekday rather than in the day where it will cause more conflict with the traffic.

Addition to the mock-up includes more of the facade.







No ongoing work today either, maybe it’s due to the hiccup with the construction trailers.

How can there be mockups of the building onsite and no final renderings? Or is the last posted what we will see built.

There are obviously final renderings somewhere. But since this project doesn't have condos that need to be sold, I'm not surprised we haven't seen them yet. We didn't see the final version of 321 West until after it started.

This mockup looks like there are three different colors / types of glass. It should give the building even more texture than the renderings shows. The whiteish cream and orange are definitely new to the skyline, and will probably look very striking against the blue sky. I am impressed with the tapering from very broad at the base, then thinning in the center, to thinnest at top while each section relates well to the others and reads as a whole tower. Very well done! And the crown make sense and reads well with the other columns at the base and between sections. It is going to be huge. I am glad it will soon have other tall towers next to it, and near by, to give it context and scale.

When did this change to rental? I have it as ~352 condos, ~232 hotel rooms, and ~677,000 SF of office. This obviously does not include any retail, restaurants and/or bars.

It doesn't (initially) make since to have a signature tower - one that will be the tallest in Texas - as rental. Especially if they are planning on having a 5-star hotel associated with this project.

I've never heard of this one being condos. To my knowledge the developer only does multifamily (rentals).

[ATX2030]

That's what I thought as well. Apartments? Hopefully well hear something in April if they don't have any more delays.
