Sweet. And it looks like Aspen Heights West Campus is officially topped out, too.

This one can be considered u/c. The crew is already working on support columns at street level (see background of 2nd pic).

Does anyone know how much the land ultimately sold for? It took a long time to get a project going on this site, from 2011:

Finally reached the bottom of the pit for this one.

It's a shame, the excavators used to wake me up in the morning, but now I have to set alarms.

Great pic? Curious whether the developers would have delivered fewer parking spaces had the parking requirements been lower? What is parking like in west campus nowadays and what are student behaviors toward having/using automobiles. Can anyone here speak to this?

Currently, I am living in University House

I have a car and a parking space here, but my roommate has to park his car next door at Callaway house because of high demand

Lots of people in West Campus have a cars simply because the nearest HEB is far away

I don't have a car, but my friends who visit have to park deep into West Campus (where it's mostly homes towards Lamar) for free parking.

A lot of students don't realize the 803 stops directly at the HEB on Burnet Rd. It's quicker than walking across campus to catch the 7, 10, etc to 41st and Red River.

When I went to UT, that HEB on Burnet seemed a million miles away.

According to this FAA filing the tower crane will reach 370'. That's pretty tall for West Campus.

Parallel CO Announces 502-Bed Development Near the University of Texas

Quote:

Austin, Texas — Parallel CO has announced plans for MUZE, a 502-bed student housing development located blocks from the University of Texas campus in Austin.

The 18-story high-rise is scheduled for delivery in fall 2019. Community amenities will include a rooftop swimming pool, outdoor theater and kitchen area, fitness center, community gathering spaces and a state-of-the-art study floor with spaces for individual and group study. Units will be fully furnished with a custom designed furniture package. The architect for the project is Rhode Partners and Rogers-O’Brien is the general contractor. Sixthriver will provide interior and product design services.

Nice find. It's not easy to locate renderings of the biggest projects in WC. But I must congratulate the developer for creating a project that blends in well with every other WC apartment building. One wouldn't want to outshine their rivals.

KevinFromTexas · #36 Posted **Mar 14, 2018, 7:30 AM**

Funny how they chopped some floors and the mechanical penthouse off 21Rio for that rendering. Anyway, I like it. I think some of the buildings that West Campus has been getting lately seem better than the earlier ones.

Love the tower design. I appreciate the intention to add some thickness to the exterior walls so the windows aren't just in the same flat plane as the wall like in some other tragic-looking WC buildings (Crest at Pearl comes to mind)

Wish the parking garage facade was better. At least incorporate some color into those strips or something. Also, seems like a wasted opportunity to incorporate a nice ooutdoor lounge area on top of the parking garage.

Edit: also notice how they stuck a bunch of random buildings in their renderings that don't exist. It's like they plopped Muze, 21 rio and a bit of Callaway House into a random city.
