I thought it was condos as well. The hotel might not be 5 star with rentals. I have now down graded my hope for the hotel being 5 star!

The tallest tower in Texas, In Austin, in 2022, just screams for condos and a swanky hotel. Just saying.

I completely agree. I too hope that it is a 5-star hotel and corresponding condos. It seems like that would be a great fit in Texas' tallest tower. And, there's a market for it.

Hopefully an announcement will come soon.

This is obviously not true to perspective since none of the renderings are really from the same vantage point, but a quick shoddy attempt to see how this cluster will eventually look. Scale and placement should be fairly accurate. Gives us a good idea of composition until more renderings and someone with better photoshop skills comes around!

And yes, this is our signature. Who'd a thunk different angles would've changed my mind so drastically. I am a sucker for Googie design. I am still very curious about that crown lighting. If I had to guess, we'll be seeing the pillars lit with a glow or frosted glass panels.

Interesting that they edited out the HACA senior's tower in this rendering view, but not the others.

H2O · #9 Posted **Mar 27, 2022, 1:37 PM**

Most of the changes in the final rendering are on top of the podium and not the tower, and now everyone is excited?

Then, Block 16 (at 723') and Perennial Tower 1 (at 705') would be just off the left side of the "new" image.

Amazing!

By the time we get to see this skyline lined up in a photo, it will already be 2027, or so.

Yep. Sorry. What I meant was if the rendering was stretched, the new towers could have been added electronically.

I knew what you meant. I was just contemplating on the fact of how much time will already have gone by once we actually get to see this lineup.

If you created that. Curleecapital used it on their instagram without giving credit.

I have really gotten out of touch with all the new building around Rainey. Can somebody tell me which building proposals are represented in the above photo, specifically the three very tall buildings to the right of 98 Red River? How likely is it that these buildings will start construction in the next 12 months or so? I don't spend any time downtown any longer, and I am having a hard time following all the latest developments.

Once they freshen up the trail, that's going to be an amazing part of town to be outside in nature right next to the tallest building in Texas.

Ritz will start in a few months. 98 seems to be underway, as is the Travis, who currently owns the Ritz lot
