The West Campus project known as Marvin Gardens from a site plan filing three weeks ago will be another tall one. A design intake permit filed today indicates that it is a 30-story apartment tower.
More info was added to the site plan today. This will be 31-stories plus 4 underground levels.
EDIT: The site plan drawings were added to the site plan application on 4/27. They don't include the elevations. But they do collaborate that floor 31 is an amenity level and not mechanical.
Location: Austin -> San Antonio -> Columbia -> San Antonio -> Chicago -> Austin -> Denver -> Austin

Is it just me, or does the name really evoke thoughts of public housing? Anything that ends in “gardens” leaves that impression and I wonder if they’re gonna end up changing the name.
It always makes me think of the board game Monopoly. I had to look at the original Monopoly board to see exactly where Marvin Gardens was. It's sandwiched between "Waterworks" and the "Go to Jail" corner.

i've never heard gardens in relation to public housing.

It's West Campus housing. It's bound to have at least three name changes before construction even starts.
