Our plan for the 18.9-acre site at 305 South Congress encompasses over 7 acres of urban living with 3.5 million square feet of office, hotel, residential and retail space, over 8 acres of dedicated parkland and plaza space, and over 3.5 acres of public realm streets including protected bike lanes and 5 new ADA access points to the Butler Hike and Bike Trail. Created by a partnership of Endeavor Real Estate Group and the Cox family, 305 South Congress will provide enhanced connections to and along the waterfront and expanded public open space. This new neighborhood will offer an exciting pedestrian environment and will leverage multi-modal transit access enhancing mobility within the urban core. As the city continues to evolve, 305 South Congress will compliment Austin’s waterfront and the vision for the South Central Waterfront District.

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

  Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles.
