Paradise Adding A Patio For Pecan Street Patrons
Photo snapped today. The Paradise bar at 6th and Trinity is getting a 2nd story patio. Too early to tell if the sidewalk will go underneath or around it.
Photo Of Downtown Austin Through The Fog
Thanks to CatEmery at Flickr for taking, and Scottolini at SkyscraperPage for finding, this wonderful photo of downtown Austin.
Austin’s emerging skyline is the backdrop for the lush rolling hills of central Texas. If ever there was a photo to encourage the City of Austin (and neighboring cities) to establish urban growth boundaries, this is it.
Hotel Planned At 3rd & San Jacinto
Poe Companies and White Lodging appear to be working towards a hotel deal in downtown Austin. The project, as currently envisioned, would be a Hyatt hotel with ~275 hotel rooms. DANA was approached for preliminary feedback by Armbrust and Brown, in preparation for consideration by City Council for increasing the entitled FAR from 8:1 to 12:1. No site plan, architectural drawings, or financing is confirmed.
The property is currently a surface level parking lot. Poe Companies is planning the 21c museum/hotel/condo concept at Cesar Chavez and Red River – which had been planned at 3rd and San Jacinto. Poe Companies controls the lot being considered for the Hyatt hotel, and the 1/2 block located across the street, known as the Whitely Paper building.

Downtown Austin Open Houses
(Looking for this week’s open houses? You’ll find them here.)
The great thing about downtown Austin open houses is that you can generally walk from building to building. Take a stroll downtown now that summer is over and the temperature is cooler.
Today is the Downtown Living Tour, which means on this weekend’s calendar you’ll find the Austin City Lofts, 360 Condos, and the opportunity to tour the inside of several other buildings. I will be working registration for the DLT at Gables Park Plaza. Hope to see you there!
