Lol exactly. These kids are spoiled.

I have a few friends who decided to move to/stay in West Campus. One lives on the top floor of 21Rio with a nice view of Downtown. I myself was there well after attending ACC. Convenient location and somewhat affordable especially if you’re up for the roomate situation (compared to other areas of Austin).

Tallest building under construction outside of NYC & Chicago.

I'm excited about this one. I'll take a drive down to Austin once it's complete.

Anything to be different! I'll close my eyes to this building if ever I'm in downtown Austin sometime!

It’s incredible to watch this be built and when checking in once every few weeks on trips downtown it just keeps getting bigger!

The blue tower I am super stoked to watch it go up!

[The ATX]

We've had a flurry of groundbreaking news in Austin over the past few weeks. This is a list of the 20 tallest active projects in Austin - all over 500'. The ones with a green stripe are either already underway or have an April construction start date per long term street closure permits filed for construction.

That's 11 total over 500', 6 total over 600' including a supertall.

In addition to the 500'+ towers in my previous post, there are nine more between 300' & 500' either underway or have an April start date per long term right of way closure for construction permits.

It Sure Looks Like the Republic Tower’s Breaking Ground This Spring

Ah, ze Republic. A tower like no other. She has many charms, non? Not ze least of which is her fashionable lateness, which has vexed Austin’s skyscraper enthusiasts — sorry, amateurs de gratte-ciel — since the project’s first appearance in 2018.

But after a few breadcrumbs of progress over the last couple of years, including some mysterious (and still unexplained) site plan updates last year and undated crane permits earlier this year, we finally have le pistolet fumant — a permit for the parking lot was filed earlier today by general contractors Harvey-Cleary on behalf of the project’s developers at Lincoln Property Company, requesting the closure of sidewalks all around the tower site, “to allow for the construction of The Republic project located at 401 W. 4th St.” The permit includes a start date of April 18, 2022.

^ Nice! The Republic screams of Pickard-Chilton, in a good way. Is that who designed it?
