Very nice photo Kevin. Man I can't wait to see that same view in 5 years from now.

While I was riding to this spot I couldn't help but think how there should be a line of highrises along Riverside between downtown and 71. The only real thing stopping it from happening would be the FAA since additional runways at ABIA would almost certainly put their flight path over that area.

I can definitely see Ben White filling up with mixed-use developments later on once light rail established.

HoustonHorns · #**3685** Posted **Aug 11, 2014, 4:12 AM**

Any news on the light rail? I've been seeing a lot of the commercials lately.

Comments about that get posted in the Transportation thread in the Austin sub-forum.

It is to my understanding that a compilation thread is for everything.

This view from the SE has always been my favorite; even with so much the horrendous Hilton in pic!

That would be a correct. A gold star for you!

He was asking for updates about light rail, and the transportation thread is where Austin forummers post such things.

Sorry for getting a bit "jumpy". Though I do prefer a cookie.

Nice shots, Texdaniel. The Colorado Tower is filling in nicely. That view will be gone when they build the ZaZa tho. Anyone know what's happening with that?

As far as I know this summer has always been the planned time frame for the start of construction. But summer is well under way, and so far the site shows no signs of any imminent construction.

I think it's the best angle since you get the density of downtown and UT.

KevinFromTexas · #**3697** Posted **Aug 13, 2014, 9:30 PM**

And the backdrop of the hills. I could also see the state owned midrises at 51st Street and the Arboretum midrises behind those, plus Mueller, the 290 flyover and the midrises along 183. It's a really nice view. I suggest everyone go see it.

501 Congress: from a few minutes ago.

Per AusTxDevelopment's post on the GreenWater thread, Block 23 will be breaking ground soon. Yay, office!

VERY NICE. I counted 30 floors total. Hoping for successful leases for current commercial projects will lead to larger commercial towers in the near future.
