I suppose the Courthouse will be the real litmus test to see if Travis County buildings are as slowly-built as Texas, or Austin government buildings...

Since the courthouse is being built by a private entity for the county (an arrangement I still don't truly understand), maybe the building process will be faster than the usual government build out.

Second crane going up on the west side of this site today.

I'm confused here. Two cranes are already up. What are the crane pieces on the truck for?

Second crane being erected (these were the pieces that were on the truck over the weekend). I expect they will jump it by the end of the day.

The site plan was approved and the files were posted. The height for the courthouse is up to 242 feet 6 inches. That height may only be measuring to the roof slab and not to the parapet, which would add a couple more feet. There's also a roof access staircase that looks to run 3 or 4 feet over the top of the parapet.

The elevation files are 096 and 097.

Has anyone heard when they look to break ground on the office building portion? As I understand it the construction is only for the parking (below ground) and the courthouse.

I don't think the County has ever provided a timeline for the office building construction.

I don't call if this was posted before. But it's a pretty cool 3D view of the Courthouse only.

This seems a little unusual.

The road closures and traffic around contraction in this area has been really extreme. !!!!
18th between Colorado and Lavaca has been closed (1/2 Blocl) this whole week. 17th between Lavaca and Guadalupe is closed (block) for the next YEAR for the 17th Street hotel. And will cont. when the condo on Guadalupe start. Not surprised by this at all considering the other closures!
We won't get full traffic patterns back for years until these building PLUS Congress is complete!
