I remember there being a thread long ago somewhere…original plan was office.

Not sure how legit this is. The renderings shown on the website are of other projects in the US.

Are we getting a spire or anything with a non-flat roof? Recent 30 story residential buildings are usually around 350-400 feet. 

I’m thinking this as well or the number of stories has increased. Leaning towards the latter because the architectural feature would have to be pretty significant.

Luay Nakhleh, the William and Stephanie Sick Dean of the George R. Brown School of Engineering, toured the construction site of the new Engineering and Science Building on April 5. The 266,000-square-foot building rising on the former Abercrombie Engineering Lab site will host materials, quantum and energy research among other initiatives, and will be home to The Welch Institute. The building is expected to open in early 2023.

The address for the site is the current location of the Esperanza School.

The Oak trees along Center and Sandman are worth saving.

We discussed this potential was maybe going to be where the current Tower 5040 on Calhoun ended up due to the render showing the building next door and Brays Bayou next to it.

In what thread was this discussed? If there’s enough evidence I’ll merge it there or start a new one.

Anyone have recent photos of this one 

Now known as East Bend Apartments

Merged with the existing thread

.Did HKS really get this gig?  I mean really?  KPF or SOM weren’t interested?  Woulda been a better design from either of those firms.  Gensler too.

KPF is working with HKS on this.

A lot of Austin’s buildings tend to not take up a whole city block. If this was plopped in Houston or Dallas the floor plates would be considered average.

The design does make it stand out, I like it a lot. My only minor gripe is that I wish the midsection was more cohesive with the top portion, a bit awkward from some angles.

I’ve had Loro in Austin, highly recommend.

Designs may be the similar as they share  the same architect and number of stories though I doubt it’ll be copy n paste like Novare Group’s Skyhouses- this site is more narrow than the one for The Heights.

Preston’s design portfolio is a bit all over the place so who knows.

The reason I think it might be is that Us Living and Vero Sade are connected. The Vero Sade description in their render and the TDLR description are the same. Of course renders rarely are what is built.

The rendering they used is the backside of their Heights project. I take it we’ll see the real thing closer to construction.

This is the W. Alabama render we saw last week. Across from Tacos Tierra Caliente and next to the future Kipling apartments by Allen Harrison.

Just to be clear, this rendering is not the design for their West Alabama project.
