Anyway great news about a new potential skyscraper, even at the expense of Fogo de Chao.

Fogo De Chao will remain, just moving a few blocks over to 2nd & Congress.

Austin set to become #2 in buildings over 500ft, surpassing Dallas.

Yep. That'll give us 18 over 500 feet.

The situation...

Houston - 35 | +2 under construction
Dallas - 20
Austin - 9 | +9 under construction
Forth Worth - 3
San Antonio - 0

There are at least 10 others above 500’ in the approved/proposed stage.

Over 500' in Austin (as of today):

9 = T/O or Complete
10 = Site Prep or U/C
11 = Proposed, Site Plan Under Review, or Approved

Plus, there are these projects which should be over 500' (not included in the numbers above):
-3rd & Congress
-ATX Tower East
-ATX Tower West
-99 Red River
-309 E. 3rd

If all built - that's 35.

Based on the numbers I get, if all get built, Austin would be rivaling Houston with towers at 400'+.

By the end of this decade in 2029 Austin will either be between Houston and LA or between Miami and Houston on this list. And all of Austin’s 500 footers will be in downtown or directly adjacent neighborhoods.

What’s off about it?

Missing cities on your list.

That would be an amazing day when Austin is listed in contention with New York City and Chicago. I love Austin don't get me wrong, but that's like looping in Jason Kidd with Michael Jordan and Lebron James for "greatest basketball player of all time".

Austin's great, but not quite to the level of those other two cities (yet?).

No it’s not. I got every city ahead of Austin except NYC and Chicago because they have over 100 each and take too long to count, sort, and double check. I’m not doing that, I don’t have time for that.

The list successfully accomplished the goal of getting Austin and the cities directly ahead of it. That was the point of the list. I did add some cities behind Austin to the list but I didn’t wanna break my back compiling a full list of cities for it, so if anywhere is left off it is definitely behind Austin.

True. Trying to count NYC and Chicago's towers over 500ft off of a screen may cause anyone to get a seizure.

For real. They just have way too many to sort through in a reasonable amount of time. More so NYC than Chicago but still.

This Downtown Demolition Application Could Tell a Tower-Shaped Story

Quote:

A demolition application scheduled to appear at the October 5 meeting of the city’s Historic Landmark Commission could point to a new tower development on the northwestern edge of downtown Austin. The permit, listed for consideration on the upcoming meeting’s agenda, indicates an applicant is seeking to demolish the building at 1800 Guadalupe Street, a former apartment building dating back to 1923 that’s currently occupied by the office of law firm Dunham & Jones. Co-founding attorney Paul Dunham sold the property earlier this summer to an LLC connected with the Nashville-based real estate company Adventurous Journeys Capital Partners — and that same LLC also simultaneously purchased the larger adjacent western property at 410 West 18th Street from owners the Burt Group.

NYC: 311 (+Jersey City 17) = 328
Chicago: 127

And including Canada:
Toronto: 112
Calgary: 19
Montreal: 15
Vancouver: 9

Great momentum. The nice thing is that what's going on in Austin is dynamic so more proposals are bound to occur as this boom continues. To see the potential to quickly eclipse Dallas and even Houston (in theory) shows the magnitude of what is going on. 10 years ago, I don't think we would of predicted that, at least on this level. But hey, knock-on-wood, may the boom continue and accelerate! :cheers:

The fact also with super talls, with one rising and others looking like they may happen, shows a strength in the market, which will no doubt trickle and continue to trickle to your 100-200m categories.

The under construction numbers are probably a little off for some of these cities. So keep that in mind because the SSP database is not up to date for u/c buildings for every city.

I noticed that the first 4 of the 5 under construction for Houston have finished construction and the 511 foot Methodist centennial tower under construction hasn’t been added on SSP’s u/c database nor have any of the other recent buildings that just began construction. I’d imagine it’s like this for a number of the other cities too. I also seriously doubt SF has 0 300+ footers under construction.

But granted that the buildings already built list is accurate.
