You may have noticed there’s a couple of big holes in the ground over at the corner of 15th and Lavaca Streets in downtown Austin. They aren’t just digging those for fun, believe it or not! No, that’s the second phase of the Capitol Complex project, an effort by the Texas Facilities Commission to modernize the area directly north of the Capitol — a former downtown neighborhood that was unceremoniously demolished starting in the late 1950s and slowly replaced with an uninspiring collection of state offices, garages, and surface parking lots. On the bright side, we’re finally turning some of those parking lots into buildings thanks to this plan, even if the rest of downtown had to wait 60-odd years. There’s even some construction webcams to horse around with.
