  • AMH is a civic building dedicated to supporting and celebrating the arts — specifically music — that define this city. 
  • It represents the city’s stake against the encroaching glass tech towers that are all but inevitable. ​
  • ​The restrained, dignified edifice houses numerous functions aimed at serving the public.

  • Currently the site is a parking lot (google maps). The city has a unique opportunity to develop a central downtown parcel still owned by Travis County.
    ​
  • The proposal aims to develop the parcel in two halves. To the south is a residential tower, that will help finance the civic ambitions of the AMH.

  • The AMH presents a grand backdrop to the recently renovated Republic Square, which slopes down to meet it.
    ​​
  • W. 4th Street will be closed to traffic except as needed. It will continue to host the popular Sunday Farmer’s market.
