Dee-
Is it possible this project is not going to happen? I found the land that I believe the project is slated for available here:
http://www.naicip.com/Properties/Birden/index.html

Either the listing is old, or the property is back on the market. Its hard to tell, since the flyer has dates of 2005 in the footer, but the marketing presentation has 12/27/07 as the footer date for the first few pages and then reverts to 2005 thereafter.

Thoughts?

Interesting! From the articles I read, it was still in the works as of March 2008. I emailed the brokers for more info on their ad.

I noticed that they were at the March 4th Austin Zoning and Platting Commission Meeting because they'd previously been denied final approval. http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/agenda/2008/zap_030408.htm. Meeting minutes are open records, so any of us can ask for final wording on that. It would be interesting to know whether the project has become less feasible.

Dee, any update from the listing agent?

Keep us posted!

Thanks.

I haven't had anything from the agent, but didn't really expect anything. I wonder if the project is no longer viable, but doubt we'd be the first to know right?
