Agreed. Badly needs some sort of commercial.

Hopefully DC gets on them regarding this. Only the SE corner of W 6th will have retail.

CBD-CO zoning granted. There was a lot of opposition from Austin City Lofts.

They still have to get CC approval. But I don't think the CC will weigh the opinions of other high-rises dwellers as much as they do for the single family homeowners east and south of the river.

New elevations dated 03/08 were released. The project gained 3' but I don't see much change to the design.

Residential high-rise plans advance at Irene's, Taquero Mucho site in west downtown Austin:

The new tower project is proposed at 535 feet tall, potentially around 35 stories and a similar height to the Frost Bank Tower and Indeed Tower.

That article is not referencing the latest elevations that were released in March for the height and floor count. The height and floor count in the thread title is the latest.

As long as this doesn't get value engineered, it will be a nice compliment to the new Whole Foods offices around the corner.

Love this coppery color on the cladding. It'll stand out in a good way.

According the the attorney's letter to the city (part of the DC files) this building is 564'8" tall - or 565' for posting purposes.

This, Whole Foods and The Perennial. A good transition from the mostly blue glass, hoping more proposals follow suit.

For the love of God, I just hope they keep it as is and doesn't go through any other changes. I'm always skeptical when I see something that looks great, only for it to either change, shrink or get canceled entirely. And we've seen that happen already on quite a few of the better projects.

Muscular. I like it a lot. Especially in that neighborhood.

To everyone else's point -- it's interesting to see the newest evolution of the Austin style guide. Rounded edges and irregular geometry, brown-not-blue, lots of greenery, no more unbroken walls of glass; lots of horizontal texture. It's a pretty major break with the 20-teens design approach.

I haven't had a chance to look at the Design Commission deck -- is the design house the same one doing the Perennial, or Springdale Green, or the Whole Foods extension next door?
