  1. I read somewhere that the Energy Corridor wants to develop their portion of the bayou (Terry Hershey park) into a "waterfront park". Does anyone have any info on this?
  2. Exactly, that is what I meant, thank you! It's just bad detailing and it looks cheap. However, I do like the original design so far, but still a lot of important details remaining - hoping for the better.
  3. This doesn't make sense. If people don't want it, then it won't make money for the developer.
  4. If SXSW leaves Austin it would loose all the appeal it has left.
  5. Metro national built a 13-story MF building sometime before the recession. I think it's called the fountains at memorial city.
  6. It's hard to see on the picture,but the railings look really cheap in person, very flimsy. The vertical supports don't even line up with joints in the panels...
  7. It's a risk, although small since most floors are probably alike, but this makes it easier to get partial certificates of occupancy and thus move in people early.
  8. In some cases you pay that much just in condo fees alone...
  9. I don't think anyone would plan their construction schedule based on what they happen to have next door....
  10. I keep reading in some of these posts that the incentives favor rentals vs condos. I don't think that's the case. I thought the incentives give a set amount ($15,000) per residential unit, regardless of ownership type. Can someone explain?
  11. Makes me think of the lawsuit between the Robinhood residents and the bar below.
  12. I was told that project is over budget due to construction costs going up. Sounded like design and/or scope might need to change.
  13. I don't think the International Tower was ever "alive" and Chevron is in a medically induced coma.
  14. I hope some of them are still affordable. A lot of UST students and recent grads live at Richmont Square. If all the new apartments are luxury-priced, UST will need to build additional on-campus housing.
