I don’t live in Austin so I don’t know much about the details.

Is this project also called Block 32? I read in the convention center thread that if they expand the convention center that this may not happen because the CC is trying to buy this land from them?

This is my favorite project in Austin and I wanna see this baby happen. It’ll fill the biggest gap in the skyline right now.

This was originally being sold as two adjacent parcels. The CC expansion will cover one of them, and I think you're right, it's Block 32.

Here was a juicy quote from Tower's most recent post about the expansion:

Quote:
"...our sources indicate the towers imagined here [Block 16 and the Railyard] aren’t necessarily off the table simply because Austin’s buying — it’s just that the property owners involved are getting together to collectively negotiate a better deal with the city. These owners working together to hash out the terms of the city acquisition likely makes it easier for stakeholders to pursue the goals identified in the most recent iteration of Gensler’s master plan for the Convention Center’s expansion that would create a more “vertically integrated” district, including much more than convention space alone — retail, public amenities, transit connectivity, even towers on top.

This seems to imply — and our own sources imply the same — that the towers planned for these tracts could still rise in some form, they’d just be built above an expanded convention space."

Anyhoo, no one knows yet, but there's a good chance they still get developed in some capacity.

It'll be a long while before the final plans for the ATX Towers, Block 16 and the CC expansion are worked out. This one isn't even on my back burner. It's still in the freezer.

Someone already made this comment in a thread somewhere, but there is definitely a similarity between our two two-tower projects that each have one potential supertall.


ATX East & West:




98 & 99 Red River:

Build both pairs so that way we’ll be able to compare and contrast IRL.

I mean, that's really the only way we can know, right?

If these towers are to be built anything close to what has been proposed, they will have to do so at the same time the CC is being expanded. I don't believe you can come back after the CC expansion has already begun to drill caissons deep enough to support these large towers over the new CC.

Karlin has seven built/proposed Parmer Innovation Centers in the U.S. and Europe. Here I was thinking it was called Parmer Innovation Center because one in Austin was by Parmer Lane.
Anyway, here is a flipbook sales pitch for a Parmer Innovation Center in RTP, NC. Notice anything about the renderings for the NC office park?

Very interesting. Kinda makes you wonder what they'd call the downtown towers if they ever got them built. Because, IMO, they were definitely planning a Parmer Innovation Center on the Railyard.

Parmer on 4th? Parmer Convention Center? Parmer Downtown?

I wish we knew what the status was. They still own the Railyard, right?

They still own it. But half of the site - where the ATX East possible supertall proposal is located - may be tied up with the convention center expansion plans.

Karlin updated their website, and added a link to the project brochure for the Railyard Condos. There is no new info about the project, but I don't think the link to the brochure has been posted yet. There are a handful of renderings that haven't been posted.

https://fliphtml5.com/dpxl/atei/


The project is/was being marketed as two office towers...




But corporate housing or a hotel could be stacked on one of the towers...




For the record...

I will always prefer the Schwarzenegger/DeVito twin towers.

They need to put a skybridge between those suckers, at the top level of the one on the left. It would be perfect:

YES SIR!!!!!
As soon as possible!
And the same applies to 98 Red River!
We can assume that financing is solid for both of these projects, particularly this one.
