Indeed!

What are they putting underneath the Texas Mall? Geez, that's deep. A garage?

A 3,100 space five-level underground parking garage.

Our Canopy by Hilton, designed by Lake Flato, is now open.

Urbannizer reports 2400 Seton, a 321' 30 floor West Campus residential tower, has started site prep. No photos yet, though.

The new capitol mall stuff is going to be great when finished!

I love how the city is mixing office/residential towers along with businesses creating that neighborhood dynamic and with all of the people who come downtown to work as well as play, it's creating a great street level urban feeling. Also these panoramic photos are giving me life!!

Yes I agree!

The bottom of Motto is very interesting!

That part is an existing building. The hotel will be built on top of it. It's actually an old building from 1881 I believe.

Thanks for the updates!

Here's my August 2020 list of Austin's tallest projects.

Austin has 15 projects underway between 300' & 850'

Proposed & U/C projects:

44 projects over 300'

24 projects over 400'

19 projects over 500' including 9 between 600' & 850'

Green highlights mean the project is underway

Yellow highlights mean the project was completed in 2020

Austin's boom is absolutely nuts.

Right! Between Nashville and Austin, it's crazy!!

Unbelievable growth for sure.

^^^Love this! Especially with the hills in the background! Will only look grander when the additional towers are added to the skyline.

That view is just incredible.

I was noticing today that the view from the Far West overpass is really good. I've always wondered what the view would be from above my trees, since I'm only between 4-5 miles north of downtown. Guess I'll have to get a drone.

The ATX, that would be a great pic to post in the Skylines thread.

Ok... Big favor request...
Can someone talented with photoshop go to town (pun intended) on this photo and add mockups of all the U/C + maybe also Proposed projects??? PLIIIIIIZZZ :D

^ see post #1157 in this thread: https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...216703&page=58

Thanks for that :)

We got renderings today for what would be the sixth proposed-U/C tower between 700'-850'. The Covid carnage probably won't be known until 2021 or 2022 when the bulk of these projects should have broken ground.

Yeah, I think I'd be alright with that tower catching Covid and going away. :yuck:

I like how spoiled we are getting in Austin. We are now hoping that a 723' tower doesn't get built. :haha:

I was in the Nashville forum and someone mentioned a proposal in Austin by Karlin Real Estate concerning a 1,000 ft tower. Have any of you heard about this?

I mean, it looks like a prototype for Kylo Ren's helmet. :P I actually like the sloped window panes. It reminds me of the taller (never built) design of the Fairmont in that respect. And I don't mind the color. The height is great, of course, but the form just looks like Gumby or something. I think we're getting too many of these raised boxes with another raised box stacked on top. And that overhang on the west side...I'm just not a fan. You have to remember both the ATX East and West Towers will look this way along with the 4th & Brazos Tower. All four big and tall towers with very similar designs. It's a race to monotony.

Yep. No confirmed height, but based on the renderings, one of these at least could be pushing 1,000 feet. I estimated 950 feet, but I could be off.

Anyway, with this tower now, we'll have 7 towers either under construction (6 X Guadalupe) or proposed that are over 700 feet. Um, Dallas currently has 5 towers over 700 feet. Houston has 11 in that height category. :stunned:

Thanks for the info Kevin and it looks like Austin may surpass Houston in the number of towers over 700 feet! Austin is punching way above it's weight, Nashville too!

Austin has amazing architecture

Definitelly my favorite city to live in.

That is a fantastic picture of Austin.

The amazing thing is...that pic is at least 12-18 months old. There are a few other towers which have not T.O. and/or are well under construction in that same image.

Following the fast rate at which this city's skyline is growing has become an obsession of mine

Back when we had hope for the top of the Independent :rolleyes:

That night time shot kind of reminds me of the Minneapolis skyline at night.

Nice panorama!

Okay dammit... It's official.

Austin has arrived, and appears to be bigger than Nashville and giving Charlotte a run for the money.

Beautiful shot. WOW

Just wait two years. There are five towers U/C between 500' & 850'. If the Covid recession and WFH doesn't kill them, there are at least eight more towers proposed that are between 600' and 825'.

You’re back ?!?!

Man, that sounds awesome! Hope that talk of the 1,000 footer happens.
