We get some accurate insider info on here about who is pre-leasing space in new office projects. But so far no word about any pre-leasing on this project. It's right across the street from Facebook, and we know they are growing fast. But the fact that Facebook leased a big chunk of Third + Shoal, but not all of the building indicates to me that they have enough space lined up for now.

Well now we've done it boys: No idea how it got started, but there is a 50 comment argument on his instagram page about Austin's growth. So much for the privilege of insider architect info on instagram....

I like how the one guy says, "oh so you speak for all Austinites" while speaking for all Austinites. lol

Sometimes I want to remind people that Austin is a city...not a small town in the middle of nowhere...

Nice job, looks like he deleted the post. Austin is a fast growing city and Austin natives need to get over it. Move to freaking small town Kansas where economies are dead.

Well thats unnecessarily antagonistic.

Wonder what kind of a response you would expect from this.

No one speaks for all "natives" or long term residents.

One might also say one should move to Dallas if you want blind development that is ignorant of place , quality and aesthetic.

But who's judging?

I can say whatever I want to say. Don’t like it? Too bad.

I think most of the people doing the complaining are longing for the days from the 1960s and 70s, but that Austin is long gone. When I think of the Austin back then I'm reminded of places like Amarillo, Lubbock, and Midland today. Granted, Austin's downtown was much more active back then than those cities downtowns are now. What set Austin on a different path toward growth and prosperity was that it diversified its economy. Having UT here didn't hurt either. It's a huge boost, but Lubbock has Texas Tech which isn't exactly a shabby school with a mediocre influence on Lubbock. Those places aren't doing horribly, though, Lubbock I would suggest is in better shape than Midland and Amarillo are judging from the number of proposed projects it has versus those two. Midland has even been tearing down some of its high rises. The only one out there in better shape than those three is El Paso. I'm glad Austin grew up. Sure, there's charm in smaller cities, but it felt like forever before we had anything interesting to do in Austin, especially in downtown unless you were only into music.

Lolll...I did not mean that in a negative way! I've been a fanboy on this damn site for over 10 years!

Jdawgboy · #**300** Posted **Dec 7, 2017, 4:58 AM**

I did post a comment. Simply saying I'm a native born and raised and by no means is it true had all native Austinites are against DT growth and I left it at that.
