AUSTIN | Indeed Tower | 542 FEET | 36 FLOORS | T.O.
The University of Texas is building a new system headquarters on property it owns in Downtown Austin on the southern half of the block located at the northwest corner of West 7th & Colorado Streets. The university also owns the full block to the south where its current 9-story administration offices are located. Once the new building across the street is complete and occupied, the old building, adjacent parking garage and adjacent Claudia-Taylor Hall will be either leased or redeveloped. There are no height restrictions on the block.

Cross posted from the Austin section. The tower seen here appears to be around 670 feet judging from the other buildings.

A few more details on this project. Also, the site plan has been filed for the office tower:

The infrastructure and demolition plans were posted today to the city's website. A 9-story office building along with a plaza will be demolished to make way for this project.
ftp://ftp.ci.austin.tx.us/ATD_AULCC/...tion_PLANS.pdf The site plan was also posted which shows the building elevations. It's 512 feet 10 inches to the top of the mechanical penthouse screen and will have 36 floors. This will be Austin's 2nd tallest office building - just 3 feet shorter than the Frost Bank Tower. If it were complete today it would be Austin's 6th tallest building. ftp://ftp.ci.austin.tx.us/ATD_AULCC/...0Blk_PLANS.pdf We haven't seen any renderings yet for this one, but the elevations give some idea of how it'll appear. |
These are the first renderings we've seen of the current plan.

Looks very similar to the Vanir Tower proposal in Sacramento.
|
If my memory serves me correctly from my travels to Austin in the past, this will stretch the skyline.

Construction fencing went up.
Soil retention plans, these seem to be updated from the ones I posted last month. ftp://ftp.ci.austin.tx.us/ATD_AULCC/...stem_PLANS.pdf And an article on the impending doom for the 9-story building that's on the site now. http://austin.towers.net/requiem-for...l-at-block-71/ Quote:

The height has increased to 555', and we have some new renderings. The possible second tower is back in the picture. In the file linked to below the renderings there is a letter from the architect stating that a future residential or hotel project would replace the new plaza on the block.

Moar renderings. Indeed's rumored to be the driving force behind this one, which is now scheduled to begin Jan 2018.

This project went through a minor change with the FAA having a concern about its height. Oddly enough, it was only reduced by 13 feet to 542 feet tall. This will still make it Austin's tallest office building, and 5th tallest overall.
