downtown Austin's real estate and neighborhood blog
A burgeoning tequila company, working from downtown Austin, has landed a major distributor. Republic Tequila will be distributed through Republic National Distribution Company (the 2nd largest in the U.S. and no relation to Republic Tequila). No word on when we will begin to see bottles on shelves, but glad to see local company do good.
There is a discussion at this forum for tequila aficionados.

Public Parking in The Monarch garage for $5
The Episcopal Church has purchased a full city block in downtown Austin to eventually house its archives. According to the Statesman, the church paid Austin real estate attorney, Jimmy Nassour, $9.5MM. Right now the property is being used as a surface level parking lot next to the ARCH.
Today we received official word that work has begun on the Green Water Treatment Plant in downtown Austin. According to Cynthia De Witt Jordan, project manager with COA Public Works dept, “the general contractor, Austin Filter Systems Inc. has begun performing actual deconstruction work activities this week after a period of time preparing the site. The City is very glad to finally see this important project move forward.”
This first phase of work is limited to the deconstruction of the existing plant. Top priorities are environmental remediation, recycling of applicable materials, Shoal Creek bank stabilization and finally site restoration.
