Brooklyn173 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 There was some activity at the long abandoned commercial structure at 2020 Travis. Workers just said that they were "cleaning it out", but they were taking down all the ceiling light fixture and pretty much everything inside. Anyone know what might be going on here? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

004n063 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Yikes...shouldn't this lot have walkable places exemption from parking minima? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 There are no parking minimums here, but that lot already exists. They're just cleaning up the building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 PV Rental used this lot for the rental vehicles for years. Looks like it will be the parking lot for 2020 Travis project. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loon Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Yeah was just going to post, looks like another group bought it out from Williamsburg or whoever it was... Looks like the wheatpasters gonna have to find a new wall to do their thing on :) (full disco i live next door, happy to see literally anything happen to this place) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loon Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 They're actually doing some work now.. looks like maybe some Facade work as well as inside. lots more cars on hand as well. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loon Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 They've removed all the old metal facade now and are doing some wood repair work. Also look a front door! unseen in a decade (at least!). Looks like they're putting wood paneling up maybe? not positive. couldn't see inside very well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooklyn173 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Thanks for peeking inside. I took this for the Gray Street facade (and the long covered windows). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loon Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Really going at it today.. got the signs up for the Design and Contractors invovled. Which, as just a hobbyist that likes watching these things and learning.. I'll ask the pros.. at what point does it cost more than its worth just just demo it and start over? Is the shell that expensive? i mean it looks like they are really taking it down to nothing. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanjorade Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Looks like the design group focuses on a lot of retail and restaurants. Guessing this will be some kind of dining experience. Hoping for something fast casual. With so much parking, it would do well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
