Update: Seaholm will have condos for sale

The latest aerial perspective rendering of Downtown Austin’s Seaholm redevelopment hints at a 27 story building.  Admittedly, this has been off my radar for a little while. The project design has gone through multiple iterations but is still expected to host residential condos for sale in addition to a hotel and retail.  I’m pretty enamored with the latest design.  It shows a variety of uses, building heights, and a great park-like lawn.   [Read more…] about Seaholm Website Updated With New Renderings

Jude Galligan | March 30, 2011 |

austin rail

In the latest draft of possible urban- and light-rail alignments, we generally see the same routes we’ve been looking at for the past year.  Alas, it’s important to understand that rail will not simply be delivered, it will evolve over decades to serve more and more people.  The Statesman has a nice graphic that shows the heart of the system being envisioned.

Jude Galligan | March 25, 2011 |

Thanks to the ABJ’s Jacob Dirr for considering me for this week’s “Journal Profile.”  It’s a light hearted Q&A, and we really didn’t get into real estate. Instead, you’ll learn a few things about me, such as my 2001 foray into producing a compilation album for upcoming Austin musicians. [Read more…] about ABJ Profiles Jude Galligan

1/2/2013: We just heard a rumor from a reliable source that Agora is closed for good and owners are planning to sell.  We’ll continue to update as we have new information.

A new bar/lounge (guess) called “Agora” is readying their new space at 84 East Avenue in Downtown Austin’s Rainey Street neighborhood.  This is just few steps down from East Avenue Lounge (aka Rainey Manor). Picture of Agora and updated Rainey Street Map after the jump.

I also noticed some groundwork being done at [Read more…] about Another Rainey Street Bar Pops Up – AGORA

Perigee Moon Over Downtown Austin

Perigee Moon Over Downtown Austin Texas - 06

Last night was the Perigee moon: when the moon’s orbit is closest to earth. This was a good excuse to hike around Lady Bird Lake and take some pictures of Downtown Austin. After hiking a few miles to Bee Caves at Mopac, and despite forgetting my tripod, the journey yielded a few pictures worth posting. Above is my favorite.

According to Jacob Dirr’s twitter feed, paperwork was filed today by Bury and Partners for the construction of Hotel Van Zandt. This time sans condos.  We confirmed this with the city, and indeed the .68 acre site is back in play.

Cafe Medici at The Austonian

Just in time for SXSW, Caffe Medici opens its third location.  Located in the Austonian on Congress Ave, I was immediately impressed with the finish out.  Great layout, great light, great coffee.  We’ll soon need to update our Best Coffee Shops In Austin list. A couple of quick android pics after the jump. [Read more…] about Caffe Medici Opens Under The Austonian
