Austin | Waterloo | 321 Feet | 30 Floors | Complete
This is the first proposed 300'+ West Campus tower. The developer is Lincoln Ventures, and it's called 2400 Seton. I believe we have had previous posts about this project. But we now know the height and have renderings.

This one may be underway already (at least demo or site prep) based on the permit filings. There are a lot of permits related to demo and one for a Luffing crane.
|
Yay! Finally.
|
This is awesome! What's the tower next to it? It seems to be almost the same height but only 15 stores tall.
What's their site plan number? |
I remember posting a photo of the site a while back. The site plan was filed before the zoning change last November. So they upped the height after the zoning change. The site plan is not approved yet:

In keeping with the West Campus tradition of every new building going through four name changes, this one has had two names so far: 2400 Seton and Metacortex.

Edited: Just read the description at Lincoln Ventures. I was a little surprised on unit mix. Maybe it’s the aesthetic of the renderings and the height but I thought this would be a hybrid between student housing and units catered to young professionals. Given AC Hotel and the Uptown Class A office proposal (which is up in the air) I thought this was going to break that sole use-case residential barrier. I think with the height bump change, West Campus will eventually morph into more versatile programming beyond serving simply as a de facto privately developed extension of UT’s campus. Especially as “uptown” or whatever we want to call that gap of downtown fills out, I think it’ll start to bleed into this portion of the city.

I've never seen pools crowded in apartment complexes. They're usually empty, no matter how nicely landscaped they are. I think that size of swimming pooling is adequate.
This is a handsome building with a large number of people living in a small area with very minimal parking area. It's the kind of building one sees in Hong Kong or Singapore. This is a strong addition to West Campus and will help create genuine urbanism in Austin. How much retail will this building have? Do city codes require it to have a certain percentage of retail space? |
According to the elevations, this one is 321 feet. There's a part of the mechanical screen that steps up 3 feet above the roof. It's only shown in the west elevation.
This one's going to be pretty prominent from I-35. https://i.imgur.com/Aq4QGpP.jpg And less so from Mopac. That's it on the far left. https://i.imgur.com/2VAHw5Q.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VqLVXLL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MXIrsHO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mMN8qiP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NGt5R12.jpg https://i.imgur.com/QQ2gHe4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TxqiOQv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uEFGeoc.jpg |
Kevin - I have no idea how you create those models / images, but I have always been impressed by them. I'm a fan of your work!
|
Fun!
This one is amazing! The team behind it is top notch and even helped to implement better policies at the city level in order to achieve more height in exchange for more on-site Affordability. Please keep the updates coming, folks!
|
This will have one Luffing crane.

Utility work is underway.

Work now underway! Excavator on site digging up dirt, pics soon.
|
Wonderful news! A 300'+ building in West Campus! Another crane coming our way in the near future
|
|
Awesome!

FAA permit for the building - NE corner - 305 feet
https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...3013655&row=90 NW corner - 305 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...3014354&row=91 HP1 - which I take to meaning "high parapet" - but I could be wrong. - 320 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...3015603&row=92 HP2 - 320 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...3015883&row=93 SE corner - 297 feet https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...3016203&row=94 SW corner https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...3016354&row=95 |
The team behind this were instrumental in working with the locals, Planning Commission and City Council in updating the University Neighborhood Overlay. To think, most of this area had a 40’ height limit put on it when “all things NIMBY” dominated City Hall. While we’re slowly getting out of our own way, we still have a 36 year old land use code over most of Austin. Keep voting for the pro-housing folks, y’all!

In addition to being the tallest building in WC, it will have the tallest crane at 500'.

This may be U/C now. The tower crane is scheduled to go up the weekend of 8/21-8/23. This is the same weekend the Avenue Hyatt Centric crane goes up.

FAA permit for the crane - 500 feet. I know you mentioned before it would be that tall, but this permit was posted yesterday.

Drive by today. Def u/c

I recall the chatter on this forum back when Frost Tower broke ground as being the first 500+ footer to break in the US since the dot-com bust. Might this beauty be the first 300+ footer in the country to break once the pandemic swept in?

I would imagine there have been. I would be very surprised if there hadn't been any that did.

This one is called Waterloo now. Here are some new renderings from the ABJ:

That pool is all kinds of wonderful. Best view ever?
|
Nothing, and I mean nothing exudes extreme class and luxury like pink flamingo floaties.

Lincoln Ventures posted a short progress video on their Instagram.

That was a pretty epic photo update you did on multiple projects, Urbannizer. :cheers:

This one's really wedged in there, isn't it?

West Campus, once it's more built out with 300 footers in a few years, will be one of the best examples of modern density in the country. So much residential in such a tight space. This building alone has 241 units.

I can see the crane for this from my neighborhood from Woodhue Drive, particularly at night with the red light. The building itself should be visible from there. I can also see Spring, The Bowie, and The Independent from that street since it runs north/south.
