Photos: Demolition Of Music Row Continues

The Music Row landscape continues its transformation as demolition picks up speed, making way for Forestar Group Inc.’s mixed-use development Music Square Flats. The lot on 17th Ave. on Music Row which was previously home to the SESAC offices, is being cleared for an apartment complex slated for a spring 2017 opening.

The addresses 54, 56, 58, 60, 62 and 64 Music Square West will house the Austin-based developer’s 230-apartment complex, as well as retail space.
