These are the only renderings we've seen so far, but it's believed this isn't the current plan since the county only just now selected a developer.

Looks like a new tallest? Looks like it slightly rises over the Austonian in the 1st rendering.
|
Yeah, that design looks to be around 710 feet or so. The Austonian is 683 feet.
|
Reminds me of Stantec HQ in Edmonton, under construction. There's no curves on Stantec and the roof doesn't slope but the general massing is similar.

A site plan was filed Monday for a project, and the filing listed the address as "400 East 4th Street" however, we believe that's a typo. It's unlikely that a project is planned for that block because that block happens to be the site of Brush Square Park. However, 400 West 4th Street would be on the other side of downtown on a block that just so happens to be a fully vacant block and was formerly the site of a proposed county courthouse, along with commercial use tower. Travis County now is taking bids to develop the block. One of the files for this indicates that the site is currently a parking lot, which the vacant block very much is. The name of the project is also "The Republic". Republic Square Park sits across the street from the former "courthouse block".
Anyway, the filing is for a high rise office building with mixed uses. Hopefully, this will include residential or a hotel, because if it does it'll likely be a big tower. If it's only office space, it's unlikely to be as big since this is a fully vacant block, and we don't want anymore 400 footers. :haha: https://abc.austintexas.gov/web/perm...rtyrsn=1162618 Quote:

No renderings yet for the new current plan, but the Austin Business Journal gained access to the site plan and was able to view the building elevations, which give a pretty good idea of the shape of the tower. We also finally know how tall it'll be.
This will become Austin's tallest and largest office building eventually beating the 542 foot, 36-story Block 71 Tower a few blocks away that is currently doing site prep. https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/n...d-rise-37.html Quote:

Confused. Backup part 1 has a different project than Backup part 2. They are a few blocks apart.
Austin is booming with commercial proposals. Is there a tenant for this one? |
eh I don't like it. I feel like I should, but something seems... off. I like the original massing much better. This one is a monster. Massive podium, lines in every which direction and its t h i c c.

I like it. I usually don't like sloped or angled facades, but Austin needs something different. Too many glass boxes so far. It reminds me of some of the big office towers in New York.
|
^Agreed. This looks great for Austin which really needs a few things to stand out from the usual boxes.
|
I like this one, it just needs to be a bit taller. It looks VERY squatty. I like that it's kind of a more updated frost
|
Looks kind of like they took the Korean Air tower in L.A., squashed it, and dumped it on top of a large block of something.
|
So awesome that this tower is now going to be 709' and 45 floors. It will look much better and balance out it's wide base with some height.
|
Yep,
This guy grew to 709' and I'm guessing has a tenant attached then. https://i.imgur.com/HjN9LlB.png https://i.imgur.com/uCrPey5.png https://i.imgur.com/6F8JWbh.png https://i.imgur.com/61EuUdT.png Assuming all things are go, there is a new 600' right on the waterfront 2 blocks to the West and the new tallest 3 blocks to the North along with another 500+ footer 2 blocks over from the new tallest. Things are booming. |
LOVE this taller version... must update states in title!

Oh nice! Nothing to knock down, so this one will move quickly.
|
That’s a massive lot to be wiped out!

It Sure Looks Like the Republic Tower’s Breaking Ground This Spring

It looks like they really took the skyline into consideration and it has a sleek design.
|
This one moving forward.

Swift transition:)

The first of three tower cranes is scheduled to go the second weekend in July.

Austin has been putting up some of the most interesting towers in the USA recently. Google's Tower and this one are stunning.

Holy cow! This is rising fast.

I'm excited about this one. I think it will look great on the skyline.

I can't wait to see this thing when it tops out. It might be one of my favorite buildings in Austin (behind Waterline)!
|
|
It's chunky!
