Hmm this one's iffy for Fall opening, you'd expect them to be a bit further along. The Pointe on Rio came across this issue and had to pay for residents to stay at Dobie or a hotel for a few months.

Cool. That site is within the boundaries of the WC max height limit.

A project for that drilling site at 2513 Seton was submitted for AULCC about a month ago. But there's no mention on the height other than "multi-story".

The day they demolish the Escala Apartments (front and center in that pic - a couple buildings to the left of the blue and red and white building), I will be there to watch and pop a bottle of champagne. My first apartment out of college....and what an awful experience it was. Yay for progress and increased density!

I don't recall if this project has its own thread yet, but it's called 19 Block. It's another 18-story, ~185' student apartment building.

Site plan at AULCC:

Yeah, it's just difficult to keep up with the three or four name changes WC buildings go through.

There are permits pending for the total demo and excavation of the Star of Texas Inn. This is by 21 Rio and within the area zoned for max height. I don't recall what project this is for.

Upon further searching, 2109 Rio Grande is part of the site of the project known as The Villas on Rio Grande among other names.

We finally have a rendering of the Moxy, and it will be called "The Experiential".

- Fencing is up for University Towers demo.

- Frat house @24th and Leon has been demolished, what's going on here?

Sorry for the absence of WC pics. Busy, things are heating up and..I just moved out of the area. :-)

The University Towers Facebook page finally is hinting at the impending demolition. This is the first I've seen them say anything in reference to it.

As for what's happening at 2400 Leon Street, it looks like they're rebuilding that frat house. The project name is Texas Pike House.

Renderings. It's only 2 floors.
