Urbannizer Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Developers seek approval for 26-story downtown hotel Botique hotel set to replace Sky Lounge on Congress Avenue By Bobby Longoria Friday, 25 February 2011 Mike McHone, the project consultant for the hotel, said he, architect Jeff Krolicki and civil engineer Bradley Lingvai seek to change the building’s zoning from Central Business District use to CBD Central Urban Redevelopment zoning, also known as CBD-CURE zoning, which will allow the project to build to its intended height of 26 stories with up to 130 hotel rooms. They will also seek historic zoning for the building. After the project wins approval from all relevant commissions, it will be up to the Austin City Council to decide whether the building gets the green light. Krolicki said construction could begin as early as the summer. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 For some crazy reason I thought this was in Houston... there is a Congress Ave in Houston also...
