Some of the taller towers that are either U/C or (hopefully) breaking ground soon.

Site Prep continues for the future tallest building in Texas at 1,022'. The road that was fenced for Demo/removal is a short dead end street that cuts through the middle of the project site.

We got another ~600 footer today. A 53-story residential tower at 6th & Rio Grande. The developer is Kairoi who is currently building our next new tallest 6xG at 876' with Lincoln.
Both developers are also behind the 98 Red River Supertall that is currently at site prep. |
Some great stuff!

Some good looking infill. Moved from Cedar Park back to Peasant Valley and Riverside after 4 years.
Just amazing what’s being built. |
Samsung, Texas make it official: $17 billion chip factory to be built near Austin
“Samsung said it plans to build a $17 billion semiconductor factory outside of Austin, Texas, amid a global shortage of chips used in phones, cars and other electronic devices. “This is the largest foreign direct investment in the state of Texas, ever,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in announcing the project Tuesday. Samsung said the groundbreaking will be in the first half of 2022 with plans to be operational in the second half of 2024.” https://www.marketwatch.com/story/sa...?siteid=yhoof2 |
If all of these tower proposals are built, how many high-rises will the city have? Well over 100 I'm sure.

Here's the link to my last 2021 list of Austin's tallest projects:
https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...05&postcount=6 The list ONLY includes projects where a height or floor count is available. There are many other tall projects that don't yet have heights listed on the permits or available renderings. The list includes the following without counting recently completed projects: 47 project over 300'. 20 over 500' 7 over 700' 1 supertall |

Five of Austin's tallest projects look good for breaking ground in Q1. That's based on at least two of them being financed (Modern Austin & 415 Colorado) and permitting/site progress as well as the developers behind them:
98RR - 1,022' 307 W. 2nd - 786' 321 West - 675' Modern Austin - 658' 415 Colorado - 640' Plus we have 875' Sixth & Guadalupe half way up. There are a lot of other proposals, but they are either not as far along as the ones I listed or getting stale IMO. |

Three new towers on the way at the former Health South site at 1215 Red River. This is adjacent to the Brackenridge Campus redevelopment site that has the first of about six towers U/C.

Austin is really becoming a tech city leader. Google, Meta, indeed and Apple with very prominent office space. The Google Sail building alone has made it’s mark on downtown Austin we’ll known.

The closest I've been to Austin is Dallas, so I'm not an expert, but here's my impressions of Austin:
1. Austin is proof positive that even if your city is super-NIMBY, you'll still grow gangbusters with good weather, low crime, low cost of living (relative to SF/LA), low taxes, and a strong corporate economy. 2. It's a myth that Austin has an inadequate expressway system. Austin actually more expressway lane-miles per capita than Los Angeles and Sacramento. But when you're the fastest growing major metro area in the country, no matter how fast you build freeways, you're not going to keep up with demand. 3. Austin drivers avoid toll roads like the plague, so the toll roads end up being nearly empty while the free roads get clogged like hell. 4. People keep complaining about SH 130 being too far from Downtown to be useful. But SH 130 was literally built as a bypass, and a bypass is literally designed to go around the edge of the city. The problem with SH 130 is that tolls are too damn high, so no one uses it and instead clogs up I-35 and MoPac. 5. Lowering tolls on SH 130 to divert all thru traffic off I-35 onto SH 130 would work wonders. The Texas Transportation Institute studied that at the busiest portion of I-35, 14 percent or so of traffic is thru traffic (i.e. just passing through Austin). Now that sounds minute, but reducing car count by 14 percent would likely reduce traffic congestion by a whopping 45 percent. Because it turns out that decreasing vehicle count by 10% often reduces traffic congestion by three or even four times the factor (30-40%). 6. I have extremely high hopes for Project Connect. I believe that, after Los Angeles and Seattle, it will, hands down, have the highest ridership of any light rail system in the US once complete. Why? Because not only is Austin proper densifying like a weed, Metro Austin employment is highly concentrated in Downtown. Metro areas with the highest concentration of jobs in Downtown do the best with transit ridership. |
Austin is a city of the future and yes it has issues but get back to me in 20 years and tell me if Austin did bad, I honestly think it will be the city folks look up to outside of, with exceptions of this NYC, Chicago, Seattle and I guess LA lol
