New Downtown Austin Hotel Tower Planned at Fifth and Trinity Corner Site
https://austin.towers.net/new-downto...y-corner-site/
The approval of demolition applications for two adjacent buildings in downtown Austin late last month by the city’s Historic Landmark Commission will clear the southwest corner of East Fifth and Trinity Streets for a new hotel tower project, according to development permits filed earlier this week. Occupying a quarter-block, the adjacent structures at 307 and 311 East Fifth Street both date back to the 1920s, with the HLC releasing their demolition permits only after staff’s determination that neither property contained sufficient historic merit for preservation. Both properties are owned by a series LLC linked to local investors the Finley Company.
