The ATX

My goodness. The Austin forum is way behind in updates considering we have more than a dozen 600'+ to 1,000'+ U/C and awaiting city approval projects. The spammers have even started to take over the Austin forum.

There are some gutless Mayors and Governors across the country who are not doing or saying a damn thing right now.

Finally, some vertical progress... Source

There are so many cranes up in the air and construction going on, that I don't even know where this is. It was taken earlier this week. KUT

From KUT:

Not to mention the 774' BBVA tower and the not yet height revealed ATX Towers. I just hope the recession doesn't kill financing for big projects.

Just like the other 800'+ 65-story tower (U/C 6XG), this one is also office on the bottom and apartments on top.

An elevation was released today. I was hoping for another 500 footer, but it came in at 446'. Source

The site Demo was approved a few weeks ago.

They keep coming, and they keep getting taller. Elevations were released today. It's 823' with 65-stories, and it's office and apartments. Site Plan

My previous post from February was about the Demo of the house turned bar on the site. It is still not settled. Last week the Historic Landmark Commission voted to postpone the Demo vote to June by a 6-1 vote. The Commission said they can't stop the Demo, but they can continue to delay the project just because they don't like it. The one no vote was from the only Commissioner with common sense who didn't think it was appropriate to delay just to spite the developer. The Commission can legally delay the vote until sometime in July, which I suspect the A-Holes will do.

From earlier this month... Source

Earlier this month...This project is actually going up directly behind this one which is Natiivo. Source

An update on column construction... Webcam

The crane (at center) was raised to it's final height today. Link

This project got the density bonus it needed to move forward from the Design Commission today.

Here's one from today by Urbannizer. Only ~490' to go.

New elevations were released, and the building details look very promising. This will be in a prominent location along I-35, and no future tower will hide it. So it better look good. Site Plan

New elevations were released for this project. It went from a flat top rectangle to a more interesting design with a sloped mechanical screen. It also went from mostly residential with some office to all office. The timing of that decision probably wasn't the best in today's burgeoning "work from home" environment. Site Plan

Sure. https://youtu.be/iyiAm6xqoss

This story purports that a very large and mysterious construction site in Williamson Co. is the Tesla Factory: TorqueNews

That is an awesome video! I love the eerie apocalypse vibe. I posted an Austin apocalypse video in the Austin section of the forum that was just so depressing. I like the eeriness of this one better.

The two finalists for the Cybertruck (and Model Y car) "Terafactory" are Austin and Tulsa. Any HQ move is a whole other thing. Most likely just a twitter rant.
