AUSTIN | 300 Colorado | 446 FEET | 32 FLOORS
We've been following this one, but now that the elevations have been released to the public it needs a thread.

518' is better than 400'...I'll take it! That area is going to seem a lot more dense with this new addition, especially being right next to Colorado Tower. Imagine if the lot just north of the Austonion on the same block and the old Children's Museum get developed with high rises!
From the renderings, it seems that there may be some ground-level retail. Is that the case? |
Nice with the recessed balconies too!

Sweet! This would be 2 feet taller than Frost then and would be (by then) the 4th tallest behind The Independent, The Austonian, and 360 Condos. The elevations show the 44th floor to be at 480 feet, which is 4 feet over the highest part of the roof of the W Hotel.

This says it would be the 4th tallest, but it's actually the 5th tallest. The Independent, The Austonian, Fairmont Hotel and 360 Condos would each be taller, although, it will have the 3rd highest roof in the city. The Fairmont and 360 Condos both have spires.

Unfortunately plans have switched over to office from residential.
$175M office tower planned for 300 Colorado instead of multifamily high-rise; Oil company takes it all Quote:

More details have come out about this tower. As mentioned in January, the developers switched gears and instead of it being a residential tower, it'll be office space - and shorter. Still, this is going to be a 446 foot building with nearly 700,000 square feet of space. It'll be Austin's 3rd tallest office building.
This article includes the building elevations for the new office version, though, no renderings yet. https://austin.towers.net/34-story-o...ts-a-new-look/ Quote:

Meh. Decent filler.

Yeah, it's pretty boring. I liked the residential proposal better. The unfortunate thing is it's going to be fairly prominent on the skyline because of where it is. I was hoping for something with a little more facade variation and detail. I also wonder how they'll light it. The Colorado Tower across the street already lights its mechanical screens with flood lights. Doing that here would just be redundant.

mm.
They could've imagined something more creative for some corporate offices over there, given the ongoing hype about this town. Even here in Paris, anyone reading English has heard of momentum over there, and private corporate interests usually can afford original stuff. That said, had it been residential, I would've easily taken it for some areas growing some highrises over here. This would be more than cool as a residential tower here. |
I love it. Black on dark blue. Massing is handsome. Solid tower imo.

I love it. The simplicity of it balances out well with some of the more unique towers planned around it. And the details look really nice.
