DFW has this type of development all over the Metroplex and that's been the case for several years now. This is actually lower density than many sites around DFW.

Yeah Dallas and Houston both get way more of this type of development than any other TX cities. Austin's impressive too but it's playing catchup to DFW and HOU in this department. They've been at it for decades now. Houston's westside is really infilling and building up tremendously with this sort of development.

Ok cool. Thanks for the clarification guys.

That may be true but Dallas and Houston sprawl out way more than Austin. Austin has a unique opportunity as being the baby to build out correctly and learn from the mistakes of it’s bigger brothers.

For sure, I get that but we’re not talking about sprawl IMO. As it is, DFW and HOU have denser sprawl patterns than the ATX as it is even though DFW and HOU sprawl more. There isn’t any need to be bringing sprawl up though since we’re more focused on the infill and dense urban developments within the city’s central core area in this thread. We’re specifically talking about central core city developments.

For example, in Houston you have East River, which is arguably the single largest infill development in all of TX right now. It’ll practically create an entirely new dense and urban neighborhood in the core of the city by scratch. You have Hines’ medical village, which is nearly as large as East River. You have TMC3. Autry Park. Regent Square. BLVD Place. The massive developments on Westheimer in Uptown near 610. The Ion District. Museo Plaza. And there are dozens of others taking shape right now. Etc. This has been going on for decades and has only accelerated even more in the past 12 or so years.

These are all big time dense infill developments. I know that Dallas has had plenty of these as well.

We’re just now beginning to see more of this in Austin, which is great because it’ll expand the core with density and urban continuity and will increase the total area of the urban core. All 3 cities have a lot of neat things going on right now.

Hit pause at 2:16 to get the full scope of the East River Megadevelopment in Houston. And this is just one of several massive infill projects taking shape in Houston right now.

Thanks for the info N90, I’ll check out that video.

These projects are turning Austin into an amazing city.:cheers::notacrook::cool:

For real.

There isn’t another metro of 2.4 million in the US with a Supertall (currently U/C). And there may be another on the way after that. Possibly 2 others if that railyard condos ground moves forward with their plans. Austin’s skyline now far exceeds that of a metro of 2.4 million people, at least by US standards imo.

Now what I wanna see is the rail system and subway start construction, the airport go from small hub to major big time hub, and the city start to expand its urban core with more dense infill developments that stretch the core further out.

As Austin continues to have this large amount of growth and tries to plan it well, I hope Austin will also work to consider the cost of living, keep cost of living down and do what it can to address homelessness and build the homeless shelters that will be needed, while also addressing drug addiction and crime.

That is what could ultimately suppress the fantastic growth that Austin has experienced. I do hope they can get a handle on it. As an aside, it looks like San Antonio is starting to see some major spillover growth which is awesome because it’s a really unique city. The Austin/SA corridor could easily rival DFW and Houston someday.

On another site someone said Austin could have a skyline that surpasses Denver and Philadelphia in amount of buildings over 300' by 2030. Do you see that as a possibility?

Wow, cool stuff!

I see this as near-guaranteed.

That East River project will be great for Houston. That area really needs the development!

We got another 600+ footer today, and this will make for at least a dozen 600 footers proposed or U/C. This one is another residential tower with 54-stories and is replacing a condo building with around 33 units at 410 E. 5th St.

Replacing the Avenue Lofts. Always liked the architecture of these lofts.

The Austin project list has been updated. There are at least 58 projects over 300'. Of those, 22 are at least 500', 12 are over 600' and 5 are over 700'.

Thanks, great updates!

Wow. Great list of projects.

How will Austin's upcoming huge decrease in property values/housing crash impact all of these projects?

Most projects are already underway. It won't have any impact on those.

So...it's definite? Source?

Austin's real estate is pretty secure from the majority of what some states are beginning to see. You may see bursting bubbles in other areas of the country. However, Austin will be spared (again) from the worst of it. Austin's CRE is in a much better place than the bulk of the country.

There will be neither a "huge decrease" in property values nor a "housing crash" in the Austin area. Most don't see it even from the rest of Texas. A "correction," yes. Maybe. A crash - no (unless Russia nukes us).

Thanks GoldenBoot… I was waiting to see what his source is on this total collapse of Austin…

Yeah. What does an individual who claims to be located in L.A. know about Austin - or Texas in general?

I get annoyed by those who assume that if it's bad in California or New York that it is going to be bad everywhere.

The last time the country saw a CRE/RRE "bubble" burst was about 14-15 years ago. Austin (and Texas) faired pretty well through that one. In fact, one of the major reasons RE growth "slowed" in Austin (and Texas) during that time was the Feds stepping in and throwing a huge blanket over everyone. It was frustrating for many banks and other investment institutions in Texas - who saw the continued demand but were not able to help the supply.

Southern sunbelt states will fair pretty well through this...as migration is still steaming along (both private and corporate).

I’ve seen three instances, in my adult life, when projects died on the vine ...

Oil bust of ‘81, Persian Gulf War ‘90 and 2007-8.

We’ll it’s not happening in Austin , so let’s move on!

Nearly 700 Homes Planned Across Two Towers Near Austin’s Convention Center

https://austin.towers.net/nearly-700...ention-center/

https://austin.towers.net/wp-content...2-1536x927.jpg

We got floor counts for two new towers today that are part of the same project. One will be 42-stories and the other one 55-stories. The 55-story tower will give Austin at least 13 600+ footers U/C and waiting for approval.

For comparison sake, Dallas has 11 completed 600+ foot buildings and Houston has 20. Two of those in Houston, however, are not in downtown, they're in Uptown.

Wow!

Other than Wiliams Tower, which builiding in Uptown is 600+?

San Felipe Plaza. It's a 625 foot, 45-story office tower.

Oh yeah....it's sort of away from the denser part. I actually attended a conference in that building years ago.

Gorgeous pictures!!

Wowza!

I like it.

Proof that not everything needs to be a high rise to be architecturally interesting and contribute to the urban environment. More of this everywhere, please.

Keep bonfires at a distance.

I think this one will look better than the renders imo!

Word floating around in the Austin sub-forum that a supertall taller than 98 Red River is proposed. This comes from two different users. It is said to be presented to the design commission in late September with a 3Q 2023 start date, 4 year construction timeline.

No word on location. My guess would be 3rd and Congress, what’s being planned there is rumored to be a super tall.

Edit: Going through the discussion again it may be 410 East 5th- currently proposed at 54 floors but is said to be “drastically updated.”

Wow, interesting! Can't wait to hear more!

Austin's Tallest Projects Lists have been updated. We have 13 projects over 600' with six of them U/C. There are more 600 plus footers planned but not listed because an exact height or floor count is not available.
