Building the City: Three Master Developers

Thursday, September 10, 2026, 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM · Carpenters Hall, Zilker, Austin

About Building the City: Three Master Developers

Breakfast panel at Carpenters' Hall brings together developers Carl Dranoff, Temple President John Fry, and Scout's Lindsey Scannapieco to discuss urban development along the Avenue of the Arts. Moderated by Danielle DiLeo Kim, the talk is part of the Carpenters' Company's Master Builders' Dialogues Series and is ticketed.

At Carpenters Hall

Salt baking, smoking, fermentation, and slow roasting all show up here as technique rather than theater, applied to Southern-leaning dishes from pan-roasted scallops to a weekly rotating Tuesday burger. The carrot cake is popular enough to have its own pre-order system, and the shaded patio at Carpenter Hotel makes the all-day happy hour feel even more generous than it already is.
