There's never been a time in Austin's history before where we had 3 buildings under construction over 500 feet tall. Not even 2 over that height before. And we've never had a time before when we had 3 proposed over 700 feet, plus a handful of others around and above the 600 foot mark. This skyscraper boom is truly historic. Even if these projects don't get built the scope of the proposals has been unreal.

Several key blocks are also up for redevelopment where we could see several more big towers (over 700 feet) since they sit outside of the capitol view corridors. I would think at least 5 of them could be contenders for something big.

We also have 14 buildings over 300 feet either in site prep or in some stage of construction (not counting proposed). That's out of the total of 30 buildings in that height range that we have completed at the moment.
