Here's my November 2017 list of Austin's tallest projects that are at least 150' tall or appear to have at least one building 150' tall or more based on available information. Two more buildings have been added to the list for the December update.

There are five status types:

U/C - Cement has been poured

Site Prep - Dirt is moving or utility work is underway

Site Demo - At least one structure on the site has been or is being demolished

Proposed - The project has been announced and/or had building permits filed

Planned - Less information is available than a proposed project, more visionary

Projects highlighted in green are underway with financing/funding in place. This can include projects with a status other than "U/C".

Projects highlighted in yellow have been completed during the current calendar year, and have been removed from the project count.

Several of these projects are stale. But I keep them on the list unless either a new proposal for the site is made or the developer sells the site without an approved site plan.

Just a slight correction on item #56:

The decommissioned Brackenridge Hospital site is not the same as the Brackenridge Tract, which is off of Lake Austin Blvd west of MoPac:

I'm betting someone who didn't know there were two Brackenridge properties in play might have a heart attack knowing "7 towers" were planned for the less urban location if they lived nearby it.

Currently, they plan on 556,700 SF of office. And that depends on if they keep it at 62 stories...

Austin ISD sets eyes on southside building for new headquarters
 
Quote:

AUSTIN (KXAN) — With the sale of the Austin Independent School District’s downtown headquarters nearing completion, the district says it’s looking to the Southfield Building at the northwest corner of Interstate 35 and East Ben White Boulevard as its “new” location.

Syndic Nov 30, 2017 8:41 AM

This will be cool to watch. I work in Domain 8, on the 12th floor, so I can take come pictures for you guys.

I definitely miss working downtown sometimes (for the views) but for the most part I'm over it. So many huge companies are moving to the Domain. It's becoming a real economic power, as opposed to just a mall.

AviationGuy Dec 1, 2017 4:14 AM

The Domain is really looking good, and only getting better rapidly. Hopefully it will truly become a second "downtown".

The only things bothering me about it is that some of the nearby neighborhoods are pretty run down, and the area along Burnet Rd south to 183 is very shabby. I think the Burnet Rd corridor will eventually be much better aesthetically, though.

Urbannizer Dec 1, 2017 7:21 AM

Speaking of the Burnet Rd corridor:

More high-rise homes, offices and shops set to go vertical near The Domain in Austin

Quote:

Next year will be huge for Capella in Austin. The company is headed full tilt into the mixed-use sector, spanning from Leander to Smithville.

But the main event is likely the proposed office, retail and residential project envisioned for the southeast corner of West Braker Lane and Burnet Road.

Capella secured about three acres of highly coveted land behind the existing Discount Tire facility at 2623 W. Braker Lane. The company hired two notable names to manage the development process — Kimley-Horn engineering and Page, the Austin-founded architecture firm that recently delivered the new Dell Medical School at the University of Texas.

Buildout of the mixed-use project could easily top $200 million, Capella executives said. Plans are being finalized and will be submitted to the city soon.

Providing a highly amenitized plan is essential to success. As currently configured, the project will have 250,000 square feet of office space, more than 300 apartments that will be differentiated by design from other complexes in the area, and retail to support residents and employees.

Groundbreaking is projected by the end of 2018 with delivery likely in 2020.

Group plans to replace Expo Center with arena, stadium

Quote:

A small local group with a big vision and political backing has unveiled plans for a wide-ranging project called the East Austin District, highlighted by a large arena and a multi-purpose stadium.

Austin Sports & Entertainment, co-founded by former University of Texas swimming star Sean Foley and New England sports entrepreneur Andrew Nestor, partnered with Rodeo Austin, intends to work with the city of Austin and Travis County governments to replace the Travis County Expo Center with a 15,000-seat arena adjacent to a 40,000-seat open-air facility.

“We have private land and private money, and our goal is to build a world-class sports and entertainment hub in East Austin,” Nestor said.

The University of Houston opened 40,000-seat TDECU Stadium in 2014 for $128 million after it was originally budgeted at $105 million. The Austin facility could far exceed the cost of constructing TDECU Stadium. If the project breaks ground in 2018, it could be completed by 2021, Nestor said.

SOOO happy for the Bjarke Ingels stadium, his work generally all looks like the same stuff, got so dull and monotonous, Gehry-esque. But now this is new and AMAZING, perfect for Texas. Love it.

Syndic Dec 6, 2017 5:14 PM

I hate to say it but as much as I want an MLS team to move here and as much as I like those stadium designs, I don't know if the location is right. An MLS team should be in an urban area. Austinites should be able to go to the games without having to drive so far.

Is there really nowhere in the city where they can build a stadium?

Another apartment tower may rise near UT-Austin; More than $130 million in other construction projects planned around town

By Jan Buchholz – Senior Staff Writer, Austin Business Journal
7 hours ago

Landmark Properties Inc., a student housing developer based in Athens, Georgia, has filed a site plan with the city of Austin for its first major project at the University of Texas‚ a 17-story tower at 715 W. 23rd St.

The Standard at Austin could contain 287 units, a parking garage and amenity floor comprising more than 520,000 square feet on a little more than one acre. The project, as described at the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration, is valued at $191 million, which seems particularly pricey and may reflect a typo — something that has happened previously with TDLR records.

Vision of downtown pro soccer stadium: 20,000-seat facility with views of Austin skyline

By Will Anderson – Digital Editor, Austin Business Journal
7 hours ago

There is a lot still up in the air when it comes to whether the Columbus Crew professional soccer team will move from Ohio to Austin.

That includes a potential stadium deal that would support a Major League Soccer club. Though nothing has been finalized, a new rendering from Crew owner Precourt Sports Ventures presents an alluring picture of what a downtown arena might look like — including a dramatic view of the skyline.

Conceptual plans shared by PSV show a 20,000-seat facility on the west end of Butler Shores with the east side of the park preserved. The stadium would be about 69 feet tall, or slightly shorter than the nearby Zach Theatre and about 16 feet shorter than Barton Place Condos. It would be about as large as Mike A. Myers Stadium on the University of Texas campus, or Austin Independent School District's House Park on Lamar Boulevard near 13th Street.

This other one of his shows how the new high rises in West Campus have impacted that neighborhood (west of UT).

This one also shows the capitol view corridor on the west side of downtown and the way the buildings are angled away from that corridor to protect the view of the Capitol.

From that picture angle it's conclusive the Frost tower is the most beautiful building in Austin. If it were just 100 ft taller it would be unparalleled and a signature tower design and just world class!

IluvATX Dec 10, 2017 11:36 PM

Is the Statesman site ready for redevelopment? I noticed it in the MLS stadium proposal and surely it was part of Amazon HQ2 bid. Also is it part of the South Shore redevelopment or separate?

IluvATX Dec 23, 2017 7:24 PM

Regarding tower cranes in the city. I came up with 18 just for downtown and West campus.. This doesn't include plaza Saltillo and east Austin.(at least 10 more). Or south(a few) or north to the Domain. Maybe someone local can figure the north Austin total. :)
Either way we have a ton of them currently.:):slob:

CastleScott Dec 23, 2017 8:23 PM

^ Wow!! Gorgeous pics! Hey I remember traveling on Amtrak's Texas Eagle a few yrs back and I recall a ton of crane activity right near the Amtrak station as we were coming into town..

East Austin Apartment Project Will Fit 7 Units Into a Tiny Plot, Tetris-Style

Quote:

As Austin’s inevitable growth chugs along, one of the more interesting side effects of the city’s sky-high land values is a need for clever, compact architecture, in order to maximize the value of small and challenging pieces of property. These are scraps of land you wouldn’t necessarily, as a developer, choose to build upon if you had more choices — but it’s Austin, so you often don’t.

1212 East 7th St.

Designed by local firm Mark Hart Architecture, which is perhaps better known for its student housing projects in West Campus, this 5-story development finesses seven apartment units and a ground floor commercial space into a 0.146-acre plot comprised of addresses 1210 and 1212 East Seventh Street.

A brochure was posted to the Lincoln Property Company's website which includes an updated building elevation showing 67 floors for the proposed tower at 608 Guadalupe. The height is still shown as 847 feet.

The website also includes some updated renderings with a few design changes. Besides gaining 5 floors and a few facade tweaks, it appears there's a "hole" at the top on the main roof with a balcony and what looks to be a public space on what is the 67th floor.
