The city has been trying to implement the South Central Waterfront plan since 2015. The latest draft calls for shifting Downtown's Density Program southward, which (I believe) opens the door to unlimited height restrictions, though, the plan is on hold indefinitely.
Regardless, the plan has sparked several proposals, most around 500 feet. The city is allowing them to move forward in the planning process without waiting for the new guidelines.
South Central Waterfront Developments:
Austin | 305 S. Congress | 6 Towers - 215'/295'/365'/375'/445'/525' | Proposed -- One of the first proposals, held back due to city requirements and lawsuits.
Austin | 507 S. 1st Street Residential | 540 Feet | Floors ? | Proposed
AUSTIN | 614 S. 1st St | 120 FT | FLOORS | Proposed
AUSTIN | 311-315 S Congress | 480 FT | ? FL | Proposed
Austin | 200 E. Riverside | 2-4 Towers | 500 Feet | Floors? | Proposed
Austin | One Ladybird Lake | 226 Feet | 17 Floors | Proposed
Austin | 500 S. Congress | 5 Towers | Up to 575 Feet | Floors | Proposed
