That museum has pretty disappointing subpar architecture. Yuck

Thank you for the update!

You mean Daughters of the American Slave-Holding Revolution?
That one?

Every time I pass the folks at the Georgetown Square trying to "educate" people about the value of the Confederate statue in front of the courthouse, my wife has to drag me along so I don't try to remind them about the Lost Cause and other revisionist history in the American South thanks to the Daughters of the Confederacy.

But back to the topic at hand....
I don't think that museum looks all that bad from an architectural standpoint. I've seen worse.

I am constantly amazed at little projects that I either didn't know about or forgot about that are popping up all over East Austin. Every time I drive through I'm surprised by something new. Super cool to see increasing levels of density.

Has anyone heard anything regarding the latest developments on Windsor Park Village?

Does anyone have info on what's planned to be built at the intersection of Cesar Chavez and Pleasant Valley? There are empty lots on both the northwest and northeast corners and both are fenced off. Asking for a friend of mine who lives a few blocks from there.

What's even better is that Springdale Blvd is no longer single-lane.

City Council gave final approval Thursday for zoning to allow construction of a huge development, including a new brewery and 275-foot-tall building at 6705 and 6501 Regiene Road on the city’s east side. The plan for the 16-acre site includes 1 million square feet of office, retail and restaurant space, artist workshops and up to 742 apartments. The developer, Daryl Kunik, has promised that 10 percent of the rental units will be affordable for families earning 60 percent of the median family income.

So, it looks like at least one of the buildings won't be the 275 foot one.

This says 145 feet.

East Austin’s Latest Mixed-Use Project Pioneers Affordable Commercial Space

JAMES RAMBIN FEBRUARY 16, 2022

large mixed-use development set to transform a vacant 15-acre tract currently zoned mostly for industrial use in far East Austin hopes to introduce a new community benefit that could serve as a model for future projects — 10,000 square feet of affordable commercial space, offered at 60 percent of market rent to small arts-focused local businesses identified by a partnership with Austin Creative Alliance.

Planned by Springdale General developers Central Austin Management Group at an assembly east of Highway 183 including 6501 and 6705 Regiene Road, the project will appear for its third reading at tomorrow’s meeting of Austin City Council after two previous approvals of its rezoning, which would change the site’s designation from limited industrial and single-family residential uses to limited industrial and planned development area (PDA) uses. This change would allow the tract’s development to rise 275 feet at its highway frontage and 120 feet closer to the site’s interior — significant height for this region, though not as dense as the 400-foot limit previously approved by council for a nearby Motorola manufacturing site set for a similar redevelopment.

I don't think so. ABJ has a much more detailed article, Saigon le Vendeur is at 2404 E 7th.

The project would rise on about half an acre at 2408, 2410, 2414, 2418 and 2422 E. Seventh St. The four-story building is supposed to have one floor of underground parking and 255 feet of frontage on East Seventh Street, according to a July 10 project announcement.

I spoke with the owner of Saigon Le Vendeur a few months ago and he said that they were taking over the lease of the Domino's location on E 7th at Pedernales. They've got another brick and mortar restaurant up north, Le Bleu, that is great and definitely worth checking out.

I think 7 on 7th is finally back under construction.
