Austin | 24RG | 312 Feet | 31 Floors | U/C

Site plan filed for a student housing project at 2313 Rio Grande. Working name is "24RG Student Housing". I believe this is in the area zoned for 300 footers, so could be tall.

To be clear - this is not Cain and Abel’s. This is the lot across the street.

2313 Rio Grande is C & A's. The lot across the street is another project that is already U/C.

Plan filed for tower on Cain & Abel's site, but bar isn't closing soon, owner says

https://www.statesman.com/story/ente...t/65378765007/

You can take the metal chains and locks out of your Amazon cart. Cain & Abel’s is not going anywhere soon.

Some commenters on social media were beside themselves this week about the future of the West Campus fixture — including one on the Barstool Longhorns Instagram page who suggested patrons chain themselves to the bar. A site plan filed with the city Tuesday proposes the construction of a student housing tower on the site of the bar at 2313 Rio Grande St. The application was filed by 24RG Student Housing. Online circulation of the filing stirred up fans of Cain & Abel's, which has been a haunt for University of Texas students since 1991.

Those fears can be put on ice for now. Ellis Winstanley, who has owned Cain & Abel’s since 2002, tells the American-Statesman that his lease does not end for “several years,” though he declined to share the exact date. Winstanley said that, in his experience, site plans usually take at least two years to be approved.

More elevations. This time in West Campus. This one will be 311'.

More boring architecture for West Campus, but I like that the parking podium is not so overwhelming.

Yet another tower that pushes up to the current height limit in West Campus. It's high time to raise/remove it.

What does work starting that soon mean for Cain and Abel's? Not gonna lie, no more Abel's will be the end of an era. I hope this one at least has retail of its own

In a January article about this, an employee was quoted as saying that the restaurant will be moving to a new location.

You seem like the type of guy that went on Tuesdays for the dollar beers. RIP

Nice. This will create a minor twitter storm. As it turns out, Cain & Abel's has a lot of nostalgia value.

I mean, there really aren't a ton of bars in W Campus, especially if you rule out the fancy new hotel bars. Losing Cain & Abel's is a bummer. The density is great, but there needs to be things to do there too.

C&A is supposed to move to a new location. So, unless something has changed in that respect, they won't be lost. They'll just be cooking out of a new kitchen.

C&A is moving to a location two blocks away at 907 W. 24th Street. They will close at their current location April 28th.

Just like Dirtys should move to the old Trudys location across from old Spider House one block away, bada-bing, problem solved.
