Staff proposes new downtown density bonus districts, shifting review from design commission to staff Austin Planning presented Phase 1 of a downtown density bonus update proposing two combining districts (DDB 400 and DDB 850) that would add 400 and 850 feet of height to base zoning, require 100% of community-benefits be affordable housing (with small reductions for on‑site preservation), and replace design commission review with staff-administered urban design standards.

Austin's downtown could soon see towering developments with new zoning rules that prioritize affordable housing and streamline design reviews—are we ready for the change?

Design commissioners press staff on converting downtown guidelines into prescriptive standards Commissioners raised legal and procedural concerns over a fast‑moving plan to turn discretionary urban‑design guidelines into prescriptive standards for the downtown density‑bonus program, warning the change could shrink the commission’s review role and be difficult to revise once implemented.

Commissioners in Austin are raising alarms over a proposed shift from flexible urban-design guidelines to strict standards, fearing a loss of influence on downtown development.

New infrastructure layers, product improvements, and a real-world use case reshaping how teams approach site analysis. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been shipping updates across the platform while also expanding the type of data our users can work with. Some of these changes are small improvements.

New data + product updates + a great use case from U of T’s School of Cities.

What if long-term care didn’t compete with housing, but could be integrated into it?

A simple idea with big implications.

SOM Designs Mountain-Inspired Towers for Kazakhstan’s New Planned City The architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has unveiled plans for a striking new urban center in Kazakhstan, inspired by the surrounding Trans-Ili Alatau mountains. Known as Alatau, this city is currently being built from the ground up across 88,000 hectares near Almaty. At its heart will stand two architecturally bold towers that define a district envisioned as a future international hub for Central Asia. The taller of the two structures, measuring 272 meters, will feature a stepped, wedge-shaped design with glazed terraces and a central atrium that pulls daylight through the building’s core. The accompanying 80-meter hotel echoes this mountain-inspired form, both anchored by a three-story podium filled with retail, cultural, and public spaces. SOM’s design seeks to translate the topographical language of valleys, glaciers, and layered terrains into architectural form, linking the modern city directly with its natural environment. Though still in the conceptual phase, the development emphasizes sustainability, regional identity, and a dialogue between human engineering and geological timelessness. When completed, the main tower will become the tallest building in the region, symbolizing Kazakhstan’s ambitions to create a future-oriented urban landscape amid the steppe.

A high-angle, vertical shot of the multi-story interior atrium at Saint Anthony Main. The scene is dominated by a massive, grid-patterned glass skylight that floods the space with flat, overcast light. To the left, a dark green metal structure houses exposed elevator shafts and stairways, accented by numerous glowing, amber globe lights. On the right, teal-painted walls with classic molding rise toward the roof. A curved staircase with a glass railing and a multi-globe lamp post anchors the foreground, creating a sense of scale and architectural depth.

A detailed close-up of a vintage-style lamp post inside the atrium. The fixture features five glowing orange-amber glass globes arranged in a cluster, casting a warm light against the cool teal walls in the background. Below the lights, the ornate dark green railing of a curved staircase is visible, featuring gold-tipped posts and circular metalwork. The tight framing emphasizes the geometric contrast between the round globes and the rectangular wall panels.
