The Austin Business Journal reported this week that Gables is preparing to break ground at the end of the year on their high-rise apartment site located on the former Fox & Hound, and the adjacent building housing the Gingerman Pub. The Gingerman plans to re-locate, and Gables reps said the facade of the building will be preserved in the new construction. The project plans call for 220 apartments for lease with 15,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. The building is located across from Republic Square Park at 4th & Guadalupe. The building is expected to open some time in mid to late 2011.
