Despite the target completion date having passed, the public record remains static. no plan review or inspection has been recorded since the initial registration. Therefore, it is not confirmed in the public record whether the construction proceeded, was completed, or faced delays. The TDLR status remains listed as Project Registered, but no further activity is documented in the accessible filing data.
The site is situated in a mixed-use area of West Austin. Nearby businesses include Alamo Drafthouse Cinema South Lamar, Uchi Austin, and Saxon Pub.
