Yeah I watched a couple of those and it's pretty scary to think about. Obviously it's not common enough to deter parking garages from being built, but how common is it?

I posted just 12 links out of God knows how many more. Not enough to deter, but be aware. If you park in a garage and you see or smell a car leaking fluid or smelling like its overheated, park on a different floor if you can, preferably a lower one. Guys, as usual, sorry for straying off topic, but the size of that huge parking garage just made me think about car fires, which by the way are NOT uncommon.

I'm surprised no one has thought up a fire suppression/extinguishing system for cars that is built in to detect fire. Don't ask me about the logistics of it, just get it done.

I’ll mention that to my brother’s grandson who is a fire marshall (Civil engineer with a masters degree). His side business is designing commercial fire suppression systems.

405 Colorado would feel right at home in the Domain...

CapitaLand Forms $300M US Apartment Venture

Quote:
Singapore’s CapitaLand has struck a $300 million joint venture with an Austin, Texas-based partner to expand its multifamily portfolio in the Southeast and Southwest U.S., citing the resiliency of the nation’s apartment sector. The latest move builds upon the real estate giant’s 2018 debut in the U.S. multifamily market, when CapitaLand snapped up a 16-property West Coast portfolio from Starwood Capital Group for $835 million.

To kick off the venture, CapitaLand and its partner—an undisclosed real estate investment, development and property management firm—have acquired a 4.7-acre land parcel in Austin which will be developed into a mid-rise, 341-unit apartment property slated for completion in 2023. CapitaLand holds an 80 percent stake in the project while its partner holds the remaining 20 percent.

The Austin project site is located adjacent to the upcoming McKalla Place Major League Soccer Stadium, which is under construction in the city’s North Burnet area, less than 10 miles north of downtown. Expected to open in the spring, the home of the Austin FC soccer team at the intersection of Burnet Road and Braker Lane will seat more than 20,000 people.

Interesting. I wonder if this is all that recently-cleared land just south of Arena Tower on Burnet . . .

If so, it's a little underwhelming at 3 stories and maybe two apartments deep.

Could also be that property on the Delta Dr loop that supposedly was in play? TCAD has it at 4.8 acres, so pretty close?

The three lots that were cleared for development on Burnet Road are owned by "27 REAL ESTATE VENTURES LLC" and total ~6.3 acres....hopefully not talking about the same project.

I am thinking that too. Here is a link to the City of Austin Interactive Development Review Permitting and Inspection for the address of 10605 Delta Dr. This is right across the railroad from the stadium.

For what its worth both links describe the property at 10605 Delta Dr, Austin, TX 78758 as:

Deed Volume\Document Number:
LOT 10E KRAMER LANE INDUSTRIAL PARK II

Legal description:
LOT 10E KRAMER LANE INDUSTRIAL PARK II

This should help:

You know we sometimes suggest that some of the downtown buildings would fit in better at the domain, I think the Bowen would fit well downtown or UT campus area, and Domain Tower 2 by virtue of the ridiculous parking garage. Slide that in next to 405 Colorado.

This has to be somewhere else. 10605 Delta Dr is the address of Prose at the Domain https://www.edi-international.com/prose-at-the-domain

With how busy the road is in the rendering, I'd bet that's Burnet or Braker. Burnet is my guess.
