Multifamily construction starts forecasted to rise in 2024 but that drop from 2021 to 2023 is tough

Why only 9?
How do you arrive at 9?
This is 16 units in what is right now the densest residential area of the city. How is this even a discussion?

On another topic. Have the Royals released to the public what is their planned timeline for the promised development and what its contemplated composition would be? Yes I believe it was opening day 2028 That may be for the stadium but it is about the development that goes with it. Ah got it. Not su...

While not the only solution, Austin is demonstrating that building significantly more housing leads to lower rents. Over the past couple years the city has led the nation is apartment construction as a share of supply and rent prices have meaningfully declined https://austin.culturemap.com/news/real...

The city will probably issue municipal bonds that shouldn’t be paid for by the tax payers. On another topic. Have the Royals released to the public what is their planned timeline for the promised development and what its contemplated composition would be? Yes I believe it was opening day 2028

how are most people accessing the stadium since there apparently isn't much parking? park in river market and walk down, uber, or what? The people that I knew that went: - parked at the library, took the streetcar to 3rd and grand and then walked from there - biked - had friends/family drop them of...

Just the rag lol

Everyone I know that went today had an absolute blast.

Some had mixed reviews about the walk… but it was worth it for them

People need to get used to new construction prices

Good sponsor get for the KC Current

Honestly shocked that Yeti hasn't sponsored another team in the city. I know they're an Austin company but their president and CEO is KC through and through

The braves being a publicly traded company is a treasure. Looks like the Battery brought in nearly $60 million dollars for the team last year. Up 10% https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GIp0048XQAAd6u0?format=png&name=small https://www.jerde.com/thumbs/1275x0x50/files/wonly/untitled-1-recovered_03575.png

It’s all coming out. Not to take away from the Royals part but Frank White is equally if not more to blame for the late rollout. The royals tried to engage and negotiate the lease and CBA with him as soon as early fall 2023. He wouldn’t even sit down with them. That’s true. But those conversations ...

Under the contract, HNTB is charged with preliminary design work on the 5.5-acre park atop Interstate 670, up to the 30% design stage, as well as analyses needed for federal and state environmental clearances. HNTB has completed about $5.2 million of the contracted work but received a little over h...

Noble 33 has some interesting concepts. Sounds like it'll open in spring/summer 2025

Drove by yesterday at 3 PM. I saw no activity. Perhaps people were working inside? Nothing going on in the old Katz drugstore part of the project.

Which of course is the part I'm most concerned about

Sounds like the Plaza deal will not close by the end of March

But cities and neighborhoods shouldn’t be encased in amber. They need to evolve as the city evolves.

This argument is not all that different from a suburban nimby who doesn’t want anything but single family homes in their neighborhood
