This is obviously not true to perspective since none of the renderings are really from the same vantage point, but a quick shoddy attempt to see how this cluster will eventually look. Scale and placement should be fairly accurate. Gives us a good idea of composition until more renderings and someone with better photoshop skills comes around!

The Northern half of the Rainey District. ;) And only two of those have not yet broken ground.

clubtokyo Mar 28, 2022 4:25 AM

It’s like a whole new city!

Love how the city is transforming and can't wait to see what the city's skyline will metamorph(is that a word lol) into in coming years.

What north American city not named Chicago or NYC has had the kind of transformation that Austin is going through right now in such a short amount of time? Seattle? Miami?

Nashville is presently undergoing a mind-boggling skyline transformation.

Toronto and Nashville even more so than all of the above.

Very true. However, Austin's height and total volume (both in high-rises and other citywide urban infill) are slightly more impressive - IMHO. Don't get me wrong. Nashville and Austin are in a league of there own with regard to the amount of development versus their size (population).

I don't know if I agree with that. Austin has about 6 or 7 projects currently underway, or about to break ground, standing 600'+ and tallest being 1,000'. According to Wikipedia, Nashville only has about 4 projects at 600'+, the tallest being 750'.

Edit: that stupid emoji was not intentional. I'm posting through my smart phone. But there's nothing smart about this dumb phone. I hope I don't come off as snarky, or anything.

Is it not possible for both cities to be undergoing a mind boggling skyline transformation?

kingkirbythe.... Mar 29, 2022 11:32 PM

NO! One must always win, one must always lose. One is GREAT! One is GARBAGE!

Right. This is like the fourth time the two have been compared here.

This is why social media and most online platforms are stupid. One can't ask a basic question without coming off as incendiary to someone. I wasn't in any way disparaging a city. I was simply asking for an objective response. This is dumb.

"You hurt my city's feelings. You said it doesn't have that many buildings being built."

Do you guys not see how dumb that sounds?

No worries on the emoji, but disregarding comparative height, no US city is adding more highrises, and getting taller, than Nashville.

I love Nashville and I certainly welcome the friendly competition (more growth for both!), but this is objectively not true. Austin is already much taller and still transforming at a greater clip than Nashville. That can’t really be argued considering the giants that are breaking ground in austin and all the infill in the east, west campus, and domain.

Again, I am not talking about height as compared to other cities. Rather, I am talking about increase height (and density) compared the existing NASHVILLE skyline.

Put another way, I assumed we were talking about which skylines will look most different, compared to what they look like now, just a few years from now. In that respect, I predict Nashville will be #1.

GoldenBoot Mar 31, 2022 9:36 PM

Okie Dokie. Back on track...

Block 16 has a new design!

Ok... I can see this argument. Thanks for qualifying your original statement. It's looking at percent growth in proportion to what currently exists VS raw numbers where Austin has more and taller buildings in development. That said there are still many cities yet that have more raw numbers being built than Austin (IE NYC, Chicago, etc.)

Can we please take this city vs. city discussion to the "City Discussion" section of this forum?

Thank you.

Same here. Have never seen a design anything like this.

shakman Apr 4, 2022 8:32 PM

Same here in addition to the exposed column patterns. Hopefully the columns will have exterior lighting features.

Has the height changed?

LAisthePlace Apr 4, 2022 10:07 PM

Nice looking building! Seems the quality of proposals in Austin is continuing to improve.

ILUVSAT Apr 5, 2022 8:26 PM

I love how Block 16's exposed columns reflect those of 98 Red River. It will look really cool.

The ATX Apr 5, 2022 10:56 PM

The surface lot on the site closes next Monday, and right of way closures for construction begin the following Monday for the 710' Republic Tower.

Not long ago, downtown wasn't visible from my neighborhood even though we're less than 5 miles from the north edge of downtown. Currently, though, downtown is visible from many locations in my neighborhood, including Burnet Rd and Balcones Dr. I can see it very clearly from my rooftop, at least during the winter when the trees are bare, and the buildings look surprisingly close, I guess because they're so tall.

I've noticed how close and tall these new buildings look from all parts of central Austin. Once the supertall and all the 600-875 towers get built I'm curious how big and close downtown will feel from various neighborhoods. People might be surprised that the once distant burb they thought they bought/live in will feel... like a big inner city neighborhood.

New high-rise proposal stirring up controversy as it’ll take out some old structures on a stretch that holds Austin’s queer culture.

West Fourth and Colorado Tower Plans a Place for Austin’s Oldest Gay Bar

Quote:

A deal between Houston-based multifamily developer Hanover Company and downtown property owners alongside the management of Austin’s oldest gay bar and dance club Oilcan Harry’s would raise an approximately 40-story, 400-unit apartment tower at the corner of West Fourth and Colorado Street — a proposal that’s already drawn significant attention from the city’s LGBT community after appearing on the agenda of the Historic Landmark Commission’s April 11 meeting, due to the tower’s footprint requiring the demolition of several buildings inside the Warehouse District.

Ok, I might as well come out and say it: It's me. I'm taking up the whole thing as my apartment. I'm kind of a big deal. I have many leather-bound books....

I updated the Austin Tallest Projects List:

https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...05&postcount=6

There are at least 53 tower projects over 300'. Of those, 30 are over 400', 20 are over 500' and 11 are over 600'. Hopefully the supertall at #1 will get a green highlight on the next update. There are also 10-12 other projects that will make the list once we get public info on the height.

ATXboom Apr 22, 2022 10:40 PM

Wow! Nice work on the list.
