Is there a another city that has successfully taken overhead lines and buried them all/most? I wonder what the cost would be. I imagine developers would pitch in to help bury them. They are so ugly and now is the time to address them...the entire urban core is under transformation.
From their website.
"We have created a conceptual design for a 68,120 SF office building and 124,260 SF parking garage that sits on 1.6 acres in East Austin, Texas."
I find this to be horribly unfortunate. Hope it's a typo.

Ok, I found the story on another source. It is indeed 3212 E Cesar Chavez AND 111 Tillery St. They want 321 multi-family units and 4400 sq ft of retail.
The community opposed it because they want more affordable units aimed at families and artists.
It passed 9-1.
Not sure if I have this right, but seems this residential project has morphed into an office one. I remember the vote two years ago for multi-family/mixed use re-zoning over strenuous neighborhood opposition (e.g. Daniel Llanes), but hadn't heard much since.

It never passed council on all three readings. Some in the area fought it saying "it's a nice junk yard". You can't make this stuff up. NIMBYism cost us big time here. Hundreds of homes and dozens of Big A income restricted Affordable homes.

1409 E 6TH St. a former Lone Star Foodservice warehouse, has been vacant for a couple weeks now and I saw a coring truck there this morning. There was a site plan filed for demolition that was denied It's half the block and right next to Saltillo station so might be another visually interesting mid-rise. Boutique hotel maybe?
The guys at Auto Coat have been telling me for a few years now that their days are numbered. An unnamed developer has bought up the whole block from 5th to 6th/ Navasota to Onion and plans to put up an office building.
Eastlake at Tillery is a new Class A office development comprised of two office buildings and an above ground structured parking garage. The project will be 162,000 SF of leasable space spread across the two buildings. Located in trendy East Austin at the intersection of Cesar Chavez and Tillery Street, Eastlake at Tillery is steps away from restaurants like Grizzelda’s, Jacoby’s and Tillery Kitchen and Bar. The project will feature private tenant patios, showers and abundant outdoor space.
