I personally give more respect to the last pile of dog shit that I stepped in than MACC's opinion about anything.

hahaha I thought about replying to his post with something similar, but decided against it. Mine wasn't going to be as scathing, though.

Well, the developers don't seem to be planning to build on the corner, so it would appear that MACC got what they wanted.

I thought all the fuss was about 70 Rainey Street, which is what's highlighted in that diagram, right? I think the corner is supposed to be another project; Hotel Van Zandt, I believe.

This is now a Food Trailer Court, on the north lots and will be a concert venue with beer garden on the south lots. The owners of this lot swapped lots with the Luster Perl lots where they will build the proposed hotel.

Did they? I think Riverside Resorces still owns this property.

A houston firm purchased the lots by Lustre Pearl. The owners of 70 Rainey are probably just taking their time with the site plans. My thinking was in the meantime they would lease the property to food vendors.

Have not heard anything about a concert venue. Just a dog park :/

I heard that info from a food vendor themselves about what they have been told. So take it how you like. Time will tell.

I might be crazy, but pretty sure Waller Center is the large property north of 4. Also they mentioned the Lustre Pearl is closing which it is not. Usually ABJ is in the know and accurate, but I am questioning this article.

I'm an idiot and can't even find the pin button. Here is the east view (the first was from the west).

This project was going to be called "The Drake". The architect designed it so that the vast majority of the units were facing west to have views of Lady Bird Lake and the skyline.

It's a shame that it's not going to go up.

They really have cleared a lot of land between Rainey and the 35 frontage road. Several houses have been boarded up. Is this that bad choice low level project that is in the works? If it is, it's a perfect example between the difference of a highrise with a small foot print and a lowrise with a large sprawling footprint. It's going to ruin that whole area. Build up, not out!

yeah, that really would've been so beautiful for Rainey. There really isn't anything attractive in that area. Kimber will be pretty, but nobody will be able to see it....Page/ does really sexy minimal stuff.

It still bites that the original Hotel Van Zandt design was scrapped. This project would have been a nice compromise for losing the Hotel Van Zandt one. They both have streamlined masculine lines. They were bold architecture without being too crazy and out there.

This such a confusing lot. I cannot figure out what is going on. Can anyone provide a timeline of plans and owners?
