Re: Prillar Photos! Nice shots! Havne't been able to walk for a month ! (fractured leg booo..) Wow the progress is cool to see! The shot of Skyhouse from the trail shows how the buildings around it are starting to relate. I'm not a huge fan of any of those buildings, but the density from the collection is starting to show.

It looks like the glass will pretty much be the same as what's on 360. It's crazy how reflective it is. On some days you don't even notice the building so much.

7th an Rio Grande

7th an Rio broke ground today. They tore up all the concrete on the site. Looks like that project is a go.

Awesome, I've been waiting to see if this project was a go or not, but glad they made the decision to move toward with it.

I've noticed that the view from Mopac (over the river) is starting to change again, with the new construction. Austin's skyline, to me, is one of the best in the country, and only getting better. Just think...less than a decade ago it was embarrassing.

Youve seen me out and about but never at Chaindrive lol.

Anywho it's about time something is happening at 7 Rio. I was not sure if anything was going to happen there.

Yes MichealB im all about taller but not necessarily bigger lol

Pretty amazing if 7Rio has indeed broke ground. How long ago was the original project announced? 7 years ago? Gotta give them credit for their tenacity, even if it isn't the same project that it was originally.

Do we know what it's going to look like? I don't remember seeing a rendering of the new design.

Very good to see projects breaking ground as planned in 2013. Plenty more to come, hopefully.

This could end up being a nice building. I wish there was a larger version of that rendering. I'd like to see a close up of the top. Glad to see it's moving forward. There hasn't been much development in that area of downtown, so hopefully this will give that area a little boost. That immediate area is kind of dead at times, too. Anyway, this is supposed to be 263 feet tall and have 24 floors. It'll be only a foot shorter than Austin Skyhouse.

Will these be apartments or condominiums? I'm assuming apartments.

A few years ago there was a 7Rio project plan for a 34 floor/420 foot tower. When did that change or was it something different?

I'm pretty sure they're the same project. The taller plan was put on hold in 2009 I think because it couldn't get funding.
