I thought I might try to consolidate what all is going up now and down the road. I am sure I have missed/messed up a ton. I tried to make it like Kevin's thread in the City Compilations section. I would love any help on anything I may have missed or got wrong. TY.

Should I edit this post and put in projects that are going on, that aren't necessarily tall buildings? Like the Waller Creek and Seaholm projects?

Seaholm does contain a tower, and is definitely in the approved column. Green probably belongs in the proposed column, at least until Thursday, but it is probably not worth changing. The Energy Control Center project should probably be listed separately from Green. Oh, and how could we forget La Hampton on Lavaca! Cirrus Logic. They keep coming to me as I type.

There is a lot of site work going on at the twice failed East Avenue/University Park project. Does anybody know the status of that?

I have way to much time on my hands, and no life. So... I jumped on my scooter and Zoom! Zoomed! around town snapping some new pictures of all the stuff U/C and adding the updated progress photos to their spoilers. I got everything that didn't already have an updated progress photo, but forgot Gables. Maybe if Ahealy could look out his window and snap a photo I could add it. I'd love you long time!

Here is what I took and added.

Whitley


Hyatt


2400 Nueces


Callaway


La Hampton

It looks like the Hyatt is winning the vertical race. You are definitely not wasting your time. You are making good use of it.

It a vertical race now, and is going to be real interesting once the 2 large hotel towers start taking off.

Wow, great job, BevoLJ! I really like your idea of using the spoiler tags to show the renderings.

I'm glad you picked this venue to absorb your free time. None of us would benefit if you spent it knitting.

Does anyone know the height of the new library? It says it is 9 stories, but I count 7. However if it is 9 and has those big skylight things on top then it is at least 100 feet tall, which is what I have been using for my min height for the thread.

Also, I updated some proposals.

And now that winter has come and gone, my puppies don't need anymore sweaters. =)

If you need a couple of renderings for the proposed hotel at 804 Congress, I found some at transwestern.net

Added to the Proposed List
  • 7Rio                                         Apartment      ???         24    -------   Downtown        Sixth Street District

  • Austin Skyhouse                              Apartment      ???         23    -------   Downtown        Rainey Street District

That is the old render for 7Rio. What they are now planning is a few stories shorter version of that. Hopefully we can get a newer render soon(tm).
