I'm pretty excited about this building. I think it's going to be a great addition to the skyline. Great future home for Google in Austin???

Oh lala. I like! I just wish it could be a liiiiiitle bit taller.

Nice. I haven't seen that rendering yet. Where do you find it?

I found it on the CBRE website. http://looplink.natl.cbre.com/xNet/L...RID=5065958968

Interestingly, they indicate that 16 spaces totally more than 400K SF are available. Thus, if they have inked a deal with Google, they are not blocking this out yet. Perhaps that is not unusual.

It says the availability date is November 2017, which seems a long way off.

This article from the Business Journal said the cranes would go up in April of 2015. So that would be at least 19 months.

The committee's agenda indicates that the general contractor on the project — The Beck Group — expects to erect the cranes in April 2015.

That's also the one I'm speaking of, the third one over. That's the one that was my favorite.

Third one over is what I meant for sure... I'm going to call the latest fairmont design "the comb over" in honor of UT kicker nick rose... Anyone got a photo of him? Lol

So wait, what (where) are we seeing there in that new W. 2nd street building?
Is that looking North East at the South West corner of the building, with the back of the (currently underconstruction) Green Water building on the right edge of the picture? Are the roads we see, Second and Nueces?

Yes you are correct. The new sections of 2nd and Nueces

Our forum needs diagrams��

Kotliz · #**3991** Posted **Nov 19, 2014, 7:41 PM**

Like what sort of diagrams?

NYC_Longhorn · #**3992** Posted **Nov 21, 2014, 4:24 AM**

Like the super tall posters.... The little cartoon looking images that are on the emporis website

NYC_Longhorn · #**3993** Posted **Nov 26, 2014, 3:48 PM**

Uhhhhhhh.... hello anyone in the forum here? I feel like Will Smith in "I am Legend." Guess I'll go hit golf balls off a plane at Camp Mabry.

Would a building with a hole in the middle be sufficient to preserve the capitol view corridor? For example:

No.

Dale · #**3999** Posted **Nov 30, 2014, 8:29 PM**

Oh, come on. A building like that would keep Austin weird.

I wasn't saying no to a building with a hole in it. I was answering his question if that would satisfy a CVC, and the answer is no.

As for that design specifically, it's hideous. As for holes in buildings, they can be well done.... I like Kingdom Center for instance.
