AUSTIN | 99 Red River/Block 190/98 Red River Phase II | ? Floors | ? Feet | Proposed

I split this off from the 98 Red River thread because the latest info indicates that this is a later Phase II project. I'll eventually add what little info we have about this project.

Just to refresh . . . this is the dirt parking lot directly across Cesar Chavez from the Fairmont, correct?

Yes.

Maybe somebody can post the earlier two building renderings showing both 98 and 99. It might not be what we end up with on 99, but it is the best we have at the moment.

Here are the only known renderings of 99 Red River that were included in previous versions of 98 Red River renderings. It's the tower just to the right of the taller 98 Red River tower.





In this rendering it's the tower to the left of 98 Red River.

This is not new - it was posted for AULCC in April. But it pretty much completes what we know about this project. Notice the notch at the corner of CC & RR. That might be the main entrance to the lobby. One of the renderings seem to confirm that.

In the 98 Red River thread, urbancore mentioned that scrim fencing was going up. I just drove by the 99 Red River site, and it's up on both the Red River and Cesar Chavez sides of the site. It has Kairoi and Lincoln Property in big letters but no WeWork. This confuses me though. There is no site plan filed for 99 Red River, so anything built on the site is about two years away. Nothing will be built on the 98 Red River site for at least a year as well because they are making a major revision to that site plan. It just seems way to early to be putting up signage.

Could they be using 99 for staging, and at least starting work on 98 site prep? Doing work on the creek itself might be something they could get started with, I have to assume . . . though I guess we'd see that reflected in permitting, too.

FWIW, tons of Quincy staging occurred on the open lots at the 98 site. Stands to reason that they'll need triple the space to put up a supertall.

That's what I was thinking. Everywhere else around the area is pretty blocked off, or being used for other construction. Although, I'd think they'd start doing some site prep and demo of what little there is on the 99 block if so.

This thread was close to dropping to page 4. Hopefully it will be hanging out near the top of page 1 in a few years. Here are a couple of visionary renderings of both 98RR and this project. The main consistency in the visionary renderings we have seen is the height in relation to 98RR: maybe 600'-700'?

Those are some beautiful towers. I wish we were still getting towers that remsembled these wihtout losing height.

There's something vaguely post-apocalyptic about this one.

I'm the opposite. I think Austin could use a lot more skybridges. I understand why some people don't like them (e.g. they take away from pedestrian traffic at the ground level) but they can also be huge timesavers when going from one building to another.

And like the skybridges in places like Minneapolis which keep pedestrians away from the bitter cold, down here would keep them from the oppressive heat.

Let’s keep downtown more intimate. I am opposed to most skybridges there, but would support our councilmembers taking each on a case-by-case basis. The Domain, otoh, let’s build lots of skybridges—it’d help with traffic by getting pedestrians off of those awfully designed streets.
