Now, the developer is proposing to only partially demolish the Fourth Street buildings and to keep their original facades intact as it builds the high-rise behind it. The plan originally involved demolishing the buildings that currently house queer-friendly clubs Oilcan Harry’s, Coconut Club and Neon Grotto, sparking outrage from Austin’s LGBTQ+ community. Houston-based developer Hanover Company is planning to build a 40-story mixed-use high-rise with 400 residential units at West Fourth and Colorado. But it appears the buildings won’t be totally demolished as developers seek to build a high-rise on the block. The buildings that house LGBTQ+ bars on West Fourth and Colorado streets in downtown Austin aren’t getting historic zoning - at least not for now.
