Final Site Selection Nears for $62M Courthouse

AUSTIN-The feds' short list remains fluid, but it appears Intel's unfinished CBD building isn't high on the roster. A site could be decided within two weeks as the process then shifts into the long haul of establishing property value.

AUSTIN-In about two weeks, the federal government will have a preferred site for a new $62-million courthouse in downtown Austin, the federal official making the selection tells GlobeSt.com. Three sites are under scrutiny.

However, a site that seems to have been ruled out by the feds may still be in play–the unfinished Intel Corp. building. If chosen as the new courthouse site, that would cure several downtown headaches, not the least of which is the skeleton of a half-finished building in the city’s western skyline. That possibility, though, seems to be a long shot.

Neil Landers of the General Services Administration says the three finalists, on a list that remains fluid, are the block bordered by Second, Colorado, Third streets and Congress Avenue; the block bordered by Third, Guadalupe, Fourth and San Antonio streets; and the block bordered by Seventh, Trinity, Eighth and Neches streets.
