Do you know what they are for? Parking Garage maybe? Btw the rendering looks better than the actual building, still a great addition to TMC though.

So this one was first planned to be 29 floors, and to begin construction in 2008, but the economic conditions changed that. It was put on hold. Now its 16/17 floors and still on hold.

Info from JMI Realty Website:

JMI Realty is developing the Hotel Van Zandt, a 307-room, 17-story, Kimpton Boutique Hotel conveniently located minutes away from the convention center, the Warehouse District and other popular downtown Austin destinations. When complete, the hotel will include amenities such as three levels of underground parking, a three-meal restaurant, a 6,800 square foot pool deck and bar, approximately 12,000 square-feet of meeting space and a 1,300 square foot excercise facility. Situated in the newly minted Waterfront District of downtown Austin, the project will be directly adjacent to and share amenities with The Shore, a Trammell Crow Company condominium project. The Van Zandt is expected to attract both business and leisure travelers given its opportune location. It is two blocks southeast of the Austin Convention Center, one block east of Town Lake, 1.8 miles from the Texas Capitol Building, and 1.6 miles from the University of Texas at Austin.

The Van Zandt will be the only boutique hotel in downtown Austin and is designed to capture the unique attitude and culture of the community. JMI Realty believes that a trendy, upscale boutique hotel in downtown Austin will stand out among the competition in the market.

Great find! Thanks for the mention or link. Oh, wait...

You copied everything else, did you forget to copy the part I wrote at the top?

I found this mixed use development next to the Arts District on WDG Dallas Architecture PLLC's website www.wdgdallas.com (they're the firm that designed Victory Park's The Vista and The Terrace, The Shelby by Mockingbird Station/SMU). On the website, look under "Master Plan" --> "Spire Master Plan." Also, the other two are under: "Mixed Use" --> "2400 San Jacinto", "Commercial" --> "2500 Ross Ave | Spire Master Plan" & "Commercial" --> "2400 San Jacinto | Spire Master Plan"

I got it from SSP, ugh sorry.

I like the colors in that shot. Especially of the trees.

By looking at the 1st rendering, and at google maps of Nassau Bay, im guessing this is the location.

Click Master Plan then click Nassau Bay. There are 2 renderings.

A Mixed-Use development with nine residential buildings comprised with over 800 apartment and condo units, 100,000 sf of retail, 15,000 sf restuarant/club on the water and 4,800 SF of office space.

Thanks for the update, it looks like they are finally building taller floors, or is this a special floor?

Yeah, I was thinking the special floor is going up next, but im not sure.

Incredible. It still has 4 wheels, 4 doors, engine up front. Like every sedan ever created.

Design-wise...

Check it out, its VW Passat replacement. VW already released 2 skecthes of the unamed car, so someone came up with a render for it. Expect to see the car on the road in late 2011.

Thoughts?

The car's butt looks like the illegitimate son of an Audi A5 and the Ford Mustang. Which of the two is the father or mother escapes me.

Audi A5? The rear looks more like the Dodge Challenger's rear.
