If all these projects go through Austin will be kicking Houston and Dallas's ass in terms of development. Hard to believe those massive cities barely build anything.

The supertall is a real proposal. They recently filed a site plan for it. At first we had assumed it was just marketing, but with them filing a site plan it makes it a little more real than just a concept. They also bought the existing apartment buildings and land where they're planning the project. It's actually two towers each on half of their blocks. The two towers are described as 884,000 square feet of office space and 15,000 square feet of retail in one tower, and 500 apartments and 300 condos in the other tower plus 15,000 square feet of retail.
Here's the thread on it, including the renderings we've seen of the original concept.

We don't have 13, yet, but there are that many total complete and in the pipeline.
