Austin | Sabine (708 E 12th) | 430 Ft | 39 Flrs | Proposed
It might be a little early to start a separate thread for this project. But it will be a tall residential tower similar to its neighbors - The Alexan Waterloo and The Waller at Symphony Square.
It'll have 350 residential units and 35K Sq. Ft. of retail. The site is about an acre. PC Staff recommends the zoning change to CBD. Here's the Backup File for the 05/10 Planning Commission Meeting: https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/do....cfm?id=382537
Why is anybody proposing more CVC's? The only proposals should be for less and less CVC's.
When Ora Houston was on the CC several years ago she proposed them to slow down/stop gentrification on the East side. They would also have prevented significant downtown development like this project, Alexan Waterloo, Symphony Square, etc.
The PC should rubber stamp the zoning change at tonight's meeting; then it heads to CC on 06/09. There's no controversy about this site, so the CC will probably pass this on consent.
A one-acre downtown property currently occupied by the former headquarters of a state pension fund is up for rezoning at tonight’s meeting of the Planning Commission, with city staff recommending the zoning change for the site, located at East 12th Street and the I-35 Frontage Road, to a central business district (CBD) designation — paving the way for a plan by an unknown developer, described in the review sheet document for the case as a tower project containing 350 residences and 35,000 square feet of retail space in the heart of Austin’s newly-formed “Innovation District.”

"While we’re not sure if demolishing a building that’s less than 20 years old in favor of a taller development actually constitutes a new Austin record, it’s certainly an interesting factoid to tell your friends about the rate of downtown’s growth."
The rebuilt Austin Music Hall `2008 - 2014, completely new except for the slab, wins by a long shot.

Just wait for Kathie Tovo to try to exact affordable housing in exchange for the upzoning (which is illegal by the way).
