Developers invited to convention center proposal meetings

The Austin Convention Center Department has scheduled a pair of information sessions for those interested in learning more about the coming solicitation for developers interested in the hotel and residential projects proposed for reconstruction of the convention center. A group presentation via Microsoft Teams will take place March 1, offering project background and a limited question-and-answer period. Those who register online for the group meeting will then have the option to schedule a 45-minute one-on-one meeting with ACCD staff and consultants already connected to the project. The hotel and residential developments are expected to take place largely in concert with the four-year teardown and $1.2 billion reconstruction of the convention center, which is slated to begin in 2026.
