Foundation Communities’ proposed downtown Austin affordable housing development will no longer be referred to as Capitol Terrace, but rather Capital Studios. Yes, the spelling is correct.
DAB has obtained draft drawings of the development at 11th & Trinity. These are intended to show massing and different uses within the building. There might be small changes to the final design – the colors are for clarity and do not represent how the skin of the building will look.
With the proposed Foundation Communities development needing support of the neighborhood, DANA invites its membership to come out for a special presentation by the CEO of Foundation Communities and a discussion on development proposed for 11th & Trinity Street that would be the first affordable housing project proposed Downtown in over 45 years and which will include Permanent Supportive Housing. DANA board members will be looking for feedback on the design and operational proposals.
When: Thursday, February 16th, 6pm
Where: St. Mary’s Cathedral, Bishop’s Hall, 203 E 10th St Austin, Texas 78701

I’m also guessing you’ve noticed the rather large and fantastic white “snake” bike that hangs out at G’Raj Mahal. And you probably were, like, “What is that thing?”
Here’s a picture, just in case you have no earthly idea what I’m talking about: [Read more…] about Austin Bike Zoo Needs Your Help | Support the Arts in Downtown Austin
