I wouldn't. Why?
#1 The Austonian is built (obviously)
#2 The Independent has financing and more than 95% reserved (30+% have turned into contracts). Plus, site preparation work has already commenced.
Waller is not financed, no hotel partner, pre-leasing activity has yet to commence on the rental office, retail and residential spaces, and no pre-sales activity has begun on the for sale condo component. Doesn't bode well...at least it does not look good for the project and the development team. Hey, it still might work...and I would be pleasantly surprised and welcome it.
Even though I love the design, 7th & Colorado is a concept at the moment (just like Waller at this stage). The Nelsen Partners' design is only be one of several in which UT will consider. I would be, however, interested in which development partner commissioned Nelsen's work/proposal AND what the other proposals may produce.
And if 7th & Colorado does come to fruition, it will probably not be delivered until 2020 or 2021 (as UT will have to move into their new tower prior to anything being done with this site).
