Honestly thinking about moving to Austin from San Jose for a couple years. It looks so beautiful

Build now!

Austin made the short list. Look forward to final decision.

Yeah. It's pretty obvious they choose DC. DC, Northern VA, Montgomery County. That's like choosing Austin, West Lake, and Roundrock. Plus Bezos new house in in DC. They played us all for suckers.

Well, not quite. Austin West lake and Roundrock are all in the same state.

I would consider it 2nd St district.

It'd be cool to compile each district into photos/list to compare construction activity and architectural differences.

Possibly our first look at the Brackenridge Campus Redevelopment.

There seem to be 9 highrises in total in these two renderings:

4 on the northern half (from west to east: 60, ~54, ~21, & ~30 floors), 4 on the southern (from west to east: 30, 49, 40, and 46 floors), and the round one in the middle closest to I-35 (~34 floors). If built as such, this will be the most prominent node in our skyline, even without considering multiple neighboring highrise proposals in the development pipeline:

That would ba really cool idea. Like comparing 2nd St District to Rainey St and so forth.

The 2nd image is looking north over Waterloo Park between Red River Street and I-35. I-35 is to the right.

The first image is looking east toward I-35.

Yup... got it now. The big pinkish Sheraton would be 'behind' the viewer in second shot.

^Yep. Apparently, though, this is a proposal from Brandywine, which did not win the bid. Wexler did, so we'll still have to wait to see what the design will be. Still, if this is what wasn't chosen, then the one that did win must be pretty good. And I would assume the scale would be about the same.

The Independent update:

Crane jump today and working on the 49th floor - 528 feet - 0 inches tall now.

Technically, it is the Seaholm Development District / Seaholm EcoDistrict. https://austintexas.gov/seaholm
