This says it's being called 99 Trinity Tower now and is still planned as a 39-story tower. Assuming the height ratio is the same as the Four Seasons Residences next to it, this tower should be around 465 feet to the mainroof and about 488 feet to the mechanical penthouse. That would make it our 4th tallest. That's just a guessimate, not an official number.

The link includes a mock up rendering by the Downtown Austin Blog showing an "envelope" showing its approximate size and the location.

Trinity Tower: Planning a 39 Story, 350 Unit Highrise

Last year we discovered planning efforts for an apartment tower with the working name of “Trinity Place.” The forlorn metal building on the corner of Trinity and Cesar Chavez was acquired by World Class Capital Group.

Since then, there hasn’t been a peep out of the site leaving many of us wondering what would happen there. We’ve now discovered some proof-of-life based on public records filed by the engineering team.
