Where in Austin is this building being built? I'm trying to understand if this will contribute to the downtown skyline or not.
|
Oh great there is an official construction page for 360. Starting June 1st Ill be taking monthly pictures of the progress of 360 and will post them here.

When the image opens in it's window, click on the image to enlarge it a bit for easier viewing. http://www.geocities.com/popryshek/Downtown.jpg This tower will most definitely contribute to the downtown skyline, and yes it is inside Downtown Austin. It may not appear in all the typical skyline pictures, but it will show up in many of them. Several more towers are planned for that area also including a 29-story residential tower just a few blocks away, and a 400 foot 36-story tower 4 blocks to the west. There's also several other infill projects. |
Thanks for the clarification Kevin!
This building will be definitely add to the view along the river. |
580 feet? wouldn't that make this the tallest building in Austin? I am surprised I haven't seen that mentioned in this thread, I probably just missed it.

Yes, currently this would be the tallest building in Austin by 65 feet, beating the Frost Bank Tower. But there are two 700 footers proposed as well. One is supposed to be "atleast" 705 feet with 47 floors but will likely be taller than that. And the other will be "atleast" 700 feet with 48 floors. Both developers of these two buildings say their buildings will be the tallest in the city.
Exciting times in Austin. You can read about both new 700 footers in this thread. There's renderings and articles on both here: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=105174 |

It looks better than the typical Novare tower, even though it is a typical Novare tower. I really like the base though.
|
I should be posting up pictures later on tonight of the start of the construction progress.
