Explain the distinction between these please: Meth Lab, House of ill-repute, Republican Party Headquarters
Yes, this would be better than a surface lot.
House of ill-repute=GOP HQ |

Oh. I mistakenly took them all for synonyms. My error.

Agree totally.
That lot seems like this huge black hole in between the CBD and Blue Dome. It's like you have to walk through this open expanse to get to another area with any kind of density of development.
Something like you describe would really tie the CBD together with Blue Dome.
That is actually two parcels split north to south right in the middle. The PAC Trust owns both of them. If you want to hold an event on those lots (ie Dfest [RIP]) then the PAC Trust has to approve. The lots to the south of the PAC is three parcels, all owned by the same LLC. It would be great for a parking structure to be there. It would serve PAC, OTC, Blue Dome and open the lot caddy corner to it for a hotel, again. |

Underground parking with a landscaped park for events above would be amazing. The natural slope of that block could make creating such a garage/park more feasible with entrances on the lower 2nd St side. |

I was just trying to think of some examples where you might prefer to have a surface lot. I also figured the last one would get a few chuckles, which it has. |

Haven't gotten on for a while and wow, look what happens! Can't wait to see the new renderings. This project just keeps getting more and more exciting.

It's still happening, albeit slowly. It's a design-build project with Flintco and Miles+Assoc. Architects, with One Place (Bob Eggleston) as the developer. They are still working out a lot of issues with the site but should start tearing down the existing buildings along Cheyenne and then doing major site work for the tower in July/August.
From what I've heard:
Starting this summer
- Cimarex office tower at 2nd & Cheyenne will be 18 stories with several levels of parking above a lobby/retail space
- Northwestern Mutual office tower will be 5 stories at 2nd & Denver with lobby/retail space
Still proposals/no firm start dates yet
- Hotel at 3rd & Cheyenne will be 8 stories with lobby on 3rd, structured parking along Cheyenne
- Mixed-use apartments with ground level retail/restaurant space at 3rd & Denver
Looking forward to seeing updated renderings soon.

Thanks, SXSW. I'll stop fidgeting.
PS. Any idea what sort of hotel they're planning? I seem to remember it was a select service brand (Hilton Garden Inn or somesuch); is that still true?
