Agreed, though the “lines” between floors should be every floor instead of every two. It makes it look like a ~40 floor super tall.

I freaking love the landscaping and interaction with Waller Creek. I like the podium and tower facade. I like the columns, but I feel like there could be some tweaking. Don't ask me how, though. I'm not crazy about the crown, and I'm pretty much never a fan of angled facades/slopes, but sometimes they turn out ok. Overall, I like it, but I feel that the crown needs the most work. I don't know how to make it work, but I still wish we could get another Frost Bank style crown to complement it.

Actually, I like the way it looks consistent between the two uses of the tower itself - office and residential. The office floors are twice as tall as each individual residential floor.

Here's the new 1215 Red River project that We vs us posted about in the Austin sub-forum. 36-story residential & 15-story office.

I like the design of the smaller one better but hard to beat that view from the bigger one.

Hard to overstate the impact that views of the capitol are having on spurring development further north. Who wouldn't want a view of the capitol from their balcony?

No, but the East 7th Street bridge at Tillery one is to immediately to the south of them, and the East 12th Street bridge at I-35 is immediately to the north of them.

$1 Billion development set to replace a strip mall in southwest Austin!
https://communityimpact.com/austin/s...eek-greenbelt/

Quote:
Developer Barshop & Oles Co. announced plans Dec. 3 for a major project to remake the Brodie Oaks Shopping Center in Southwest Austin.

The mixed-use project, which could top $1 billion of total investment over the next ten years, is still in the conceptual stage, according to a press release. The developer plans to file an application for a planned unit development with the city of Austin in February, and construction could begin at the end of 2022 or in 2023.

Quote:
Redevelopment will come in phases. In the end, the project could include 1,600 new residential units, 1.1 million square feet of office space, 450 hotel rooms, and 140,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. According to the release, the total square footage of the project would be up to 3 million, with an additional 13.7 acres of parking lot and building area being converted to green space.

Welcome to the forum ATX_21!

This proposal is quite exciting, it even has (tentative) support from the usually obstructionist Save Our Springs. If this does happen, I just hope Texican sticks around for a few years.

Hi Echostatic.I’ve been a lurker for a pretty long time in the Austin forum.
Yeah it’s pretty exiting and its pretty much what I think is going to happen to most strip malls in Austin.

Whole Foods Is Growing Up a Second Office Building in Downtown Austin

Quote:
It’s not often that a building breaks ground in downtown Austin without us knowing the details — we’re not bragging, that’s literally our job and spending all our time downtown makes it hard to miss. But as construction fences started rising at the 15-story Shoal Creek Walk office tower site at 835 West Sixth Street sitting just east of the flagship Whole Foods Market store and corporate headquarters on the west end of downtown, we realized that while we knew the basics of what was being built there thanks to coverage in the Austin Business Journal from both this summer and all the way back in 2017, we had no clue how the new building would actually look.

This second-phase addition, which city filings indicate is being developed at least in part by Endeavor Real Estate Group on behalf of Whole Foods, will add a new five-story office building and seven-level parking structure to the existing Shoal Creek Walk tower complex that will serve as expansion space for the Whole Foods corporate offices next door, adding 143,800 square feet of office space and 127,104 square feet of garage parking for the now Amazon-owned grocer — and thanks to the ABJ’s extensive coverage of this project, the fact that we’d never actually seen a rendering or even a drawing of the new building’s appearance from its architects at Gensler Austin completely slipped our minds. Whoops! Anyway, here it is

Sources: Facebook wants 1M more square feet downtown

Quote:
Sources said Facebook is looking for so much space downtown, no one building can accommodate it. If it does move forward with these deals, the social media giant will lease more downtown space than any other company.

What's amazing is that this is an additional 1 million SF on top of their roughly 920,000+ they already lease throughout the city.

That's good news. Hopefully, we can see some more big office towers break ground then - the BBVA Tower and The Republic come to mind. That would be sweet.

Here are some larger renderings and layout plan for the redevelopment of the Brodie Oaks Shopping Center in South Austin. It looks like there will be 7 buildings. I'm not sure of all the heights/sizes, but at least 4 of them from the renderings appear to be midrise to highrise. One of the documents filed with the city said one of the towers would be 275 feet tall, and another would be 160 feet. Those heights might be for more than one building, I'm not sure. 275 feet would be the tallest building in South Austin, and that area also sits at around 700 feet above sea level, which is a good 250 feet higher than downtown along the river.

Indeed, what's the status on 5C by the way? All of those would be incredible.
