I wonder why Austin had such a low number added.  Seems off tbh.  Also, does anyone know where to find the new metro numbers? Can’t seem to find them. I only see city numbers. 

Austin has gotten too expensive for a lot of people, and the growth has shifted to the suburbs.  Three of the five fastest growing cities in the U.S. (Georgetown, Kyle & Leander) are Austin suburbs.  Plus the Texas Leg effectively stopped Texas cities from annexing populated areas in 2018.

Now that we are starting Q2, has anyone heard any rumblings about whether or not the Ritz is fizzling out, or if this developer can actually get the money financed, to get this thing going...

Such a prime hotel, a prime project plan and a prime location. 

Someone in Austin who has been working with the developer on financing  related to their Austin Ritz project has been giving me updates over the past year.  The Nashville project has always been their main focus, but it's not looking good.  Their Austin project is looking even less good.  They couldn't get financing when the economic outlook and the banking/financing situation was much better than it is now, so the chance of obtaining financing in the near future is dwindling.  But the projects are not dead.

A couple of new renderings recently surfaced:

This is one of my favorite projects that hasn't started yet.  The height and location will have a nice impact on the skyline.  It's still crawling through the city approval process.

[Austin | South Central Waterfront | 10 Towers | Up to 600']

A zoning change request was filed this week for a 540' residential tower with a possible observation deck on top.  This is the 10th tower planned for the South Central Waterfront on the south side of the river.

Here are some updated  photos by Urbannizer at SSP:  

[Austin | Block 16 | 590' | 43-Stories | Approved]

The FAA filings indicating that this had become a supertall were filed in error.  The new FAA filings have it as 603'.  The approved elevations have it as 590', and that is the height I am going with.  I will no longer be updating this project since it's not at least 600' tall.  Plus it's all office, and financing has dried up for speculative office towers.

[Austin | 62 East | 684' | 57-Stories | Proposed]

This project got a nice height bump.  It's now 684', 57-stories.  This week the Planning Commission approved the density bonus and zoning change needed for this project to move forward.  This is one foot taller than a former Austin tallest building - The Austonian. Now this is just infill on a tiny lot.  This is a screen grab of a rendering with the added floors from a Design Commission meeting:

Does anybody know how I might find the QUICKBOOKS PREMIER customer service number?

Or maybe the booking number for either Swiss Air, Alaska Air, or American Airlines? 

Thanks in advance!

LOL.  Today was definitely a bad day for spam on UP.   I banned 30+ spammer accounts which amounted to hundreds of posts.

EDIT:  Make that ~50.  They keep coming.

I'll add that Austin has 65 with 11 more U/C that haven't topped out yet.  I keep better track than Wikipedia.

Here's a recent photo.  There are a lot of tall projects going up in this small area.  The supertall is in the foreground.

[Austin | Block 16 | 590' | 43-Stories | Approved]

Five FAA permits have been filed for the building.  They indicate that this one has had a bump in height up to supertall status.  This would be the 3rd announced supertall.  Here's one of the permits showing a 1,072' height:

Here's a construction webcam that shows the Rainey St. Entertainment District.  A lot of cranes in the area.  Three that can't be seen because they are behind buildings are the ones for the Waterline supertall.

Austin's light rail/subway plans will be severely curtailed just because building cost inflation is eating away at the approved funds for the grand plan while all the engineering & right of way issues are being worked on pre-construction.

This tower is going up where the three yellow cranes are at just right of center.
