The Statesman Redevelopment’s in Trouble. Why Not Make It Taller?

James Rambin April 26, 2023 Comment

The redevelopment of the 19-acre waterfront site at 305 South Congress Avenue formerly home to the headquarters of the Austin American-Statesman by local firm Endeavor Real Estate Group is in a bit of a rough patch, if you haven’t heard. As if recent concerns about the health of the real estate market weren’t enough, a new lawsuit filed…

Central Austin’s Baffling Street Grid Is Entirely One Man’s Fault

Austin Daily History August 28, 2019 Comment

Have you noticed that Austin’s street grid appears to exist outside the standard bounds of geometry? 12th Street jogs out at an angle once it crosses I-35, 28th Street is parallel to 27th Street — but not to 29th Street — and First Street intersects with Seventh Street (just past its intersection with Fifth Street)….

James Rambin November 6, 2018 Comment

This month, the City of Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department released its draft master plan for improvements to Brush Square, one of the three remaining  historic public squares laid out in the original plan for downtown Austin. We’ve previously taken a look at the various design concepts PARD’s presented during the master plan’s public engagement process this year, but now, we’ve got…

What Does a Branded City Look Like?

Rob Patterson March 28, 2018 Comment

It’s both ironic and instructional that South By Southwest 2018 presented a panel on “Branded Cities” as part of its growing Cities Summit programming. After all, during the nine days in mid-March when the hydra-headed conference takes over our central city, the branding iron of commerce is hot in downtown Austin and beyond. Empty lots sprout into promotional…
