One of my favorite waterholes in town is the iconic Driskill Bar.

I love the dark, cool atmosphere, comfortable leather couches and trademark lively buzz on a Saturday night all set sound of the piano in the center of the bar.

In December, the 21c team returned to Austin to comment on the Waller Creek plan and to discuss their future intentions for their prime Waller Creek site adjoining Red River and Cesar Chavez downtown.

For those of you unfamiliar with the history, the project was originally scoped as a 44-story condo and hotel project on third and Brazos street.

In a surprise move, the developers abandoned the planned third and Brazos project in favor of a new multi-building complex to be located a few blocks East on Waller Creek.

This week, it has been reported that the developers of 21c are coming back to Austin to provide an update on the status of the project.

Apparently, the plans are now complete and they are ready to proceed with a third version of the project on a large site located at the intersection of Red River and Cesar Chavez streets.

T. Stacy & Associates, the developer of the bold 501 Congress multi-use project, announced a even bigger plan for the prime 5th and Congress site and a new lot that he now controls on Brazos and 5th.
