Fayetteville is the closest thing to “small weird college town” in the region. Lots of TX kids going there for college (along with the Oklahoma schools).

Denton (UNT and TWU) is also a pretty neat little college town. Some great live music there also, for the record.

Nice pics!

Very. I've not seen this one before.

I forget - is the Velocity portion in a CVC, I presume?

Velocity built their new building across the street from their old one because the new site is in a CVC and the old site could be developed into a tower - Symphony Square.

Gotcha. I couldn't remember all of the moving pieces there.

Does anyone have any updates on the BBVA (Soon to be PNC) Tower and residences?

Austin has its own sub-forum. Please visit there for the most up-to-date information on specific projects. There is simply far too much occurring to provide detailed updates in this thread.

Samsung bought up a couple hundred acres adjacent to its current US HQ & Plant this past fall. They have already begun the entitlement process for said land. Maybe this is why:

Damn, that looks like two very big economic wins just today.

And yet forumers are still dumfounded why Austin will continue to boom lol...

Boom is an understatement. Austin is in “ludicrous“ mode.

I was up on the East MLK UT garage today taking photos, and I counted 35 cranes in and around downtown. Those included ones I could see in the distance, including the one working on Domain Tower II at the Domain. 35 tower cranes. And then I noticed at least 9 more at the Tesla Campus in East Austin.

There were probably even more than that two months ago. More have been coming down than going up recently. Once Covid goes away, I suspect that we will have a resurgence of cranes going up downtown. That Tesla site is impressive. Up close there are around 20 cranes putting the main building together.

I counted 18 cranes at the Tesla campus in one of today's drone videos.

Tesla site is giant! So many cranes!

X-posting deerhoof's post from the SE Austin/Riverside thread because of the higher quality rendering...

Love that render pic and really shows how Austin has developed.

I love it also. I do wish we could see some height over there. I love shots of Vancouver, Toronto, and most Asian cities where they have multiple skylines. Apples to oranges, of course, but with that shot, I can still wish. :)

Negative. They've gone plaid.

Yay! Interesting choice for sure.

Thanks to Urbannizer for finding this. It seems that The Travis Tower II just got bigger and now has SOM designing it.

It's "approximately" 802' tall and 64 stories.

Here's the updated Travis project. Having an 800'+ tower next to the proposed 98 Red River supertall will keep it from looking lonely.

https://i.imgur.com/yxHddYZ.png
https://i.imgur.com/DcM5Kjc.png

Now we need someone to add in the supertall right behind it....

We now have four towers proposed or U/C between 800' and 1,025'. And a fifth one at 774'.

This one dwarfs 70 Rainey.

Yeah, those 400 footers are starting to get lost in the skyline.

Great! I love this growth of the skyline! I know we have no way of predicting the future but do any of you wonder what the skyline will look like in say 2030?

The skyline would look much larger in 10 yrs.

As of today...

1000'+ = 1
900'-999' = 0
800'-899' = 3
700'-799' = 3
600'-699' = 2
500'-599' = 8

This does not include:
-99 Red River (office)
-ATX Tower East (residential)
-ATX Tower West (office)

Also...not sure of the scale on Intracorp's new residential proposal for 307 E. 2nd or if Stone Development Group's ~40-story (500'+) office tower will come to fruition.

Intracorp's second tower will be over 500' IMO, but which tower is being developed by Stone?

At last check...wasn't that the one proposed to be built over the Masonic Lodge? If so, I'm not too confident that one will happen.

OK, that one was Stone. I forgot about it because it's been in limbo. After they got a teeth and hair pulling approval from the HLC, they never followed through with a site plan filing.

Wild!

Just need a 900+ footer to complete the set.

At the pace we are moving it will happen sooner than later! The Austin boom continues!

Indeed!

This should push us ahead of Dallas in terms of height and
Volume.

Just a lowly 900+ footer....that's all. :)

The ATX East Tower should be around 950 feet according to the renderings. Of course, it could be taller or shorter if they change it, but that's the number I feel good going with based on the images of it. The shorter tower - ATX West, looks to be about 650 feet.

I'll do a list later, but yeah, with everything in the pipeline now, we would easily pass Dallas for tallest and the number of 400+ footers. Where Dallas still exceeds is having a TON of 300+ foot buildings all over the city that really adds to their bulk. Uptown/Turtle Creek is full of them, which really adds to the bulk of their central skyline.

Ok cool. Do you think Austin will eventually pass Dallas in overall number of high-rises or is that too early to call/a flat out no?

Tower 5C has changed...it's now a 50-story office/residential tower.

Boo/Yay

Yeah...it's more levels. But, I'm not sure it will be the same height as the proposed Tower 5C (657'). It should be north of 575', however.
