Block 32 Project Could Bring Two Towers to Austin’s Convention District
https://austin.towers.net/block-32-p...tion-district/
A permit filed with the City of Austin earlier this week indicates plans by an unknown private developer to raise two mixed-use towers at a downtown half-block located at East Third Street and San Jacinto Boulevard near the Austin Convention Center.
The site plan filing, which refers to the project as “Block 32” after the location’s original number under the Waller Plan for Austin, describes “two mixed-use high-rise buildings” to be built on the 0.81-acre site — a notable distinction from one large tower spanning the full half-block, which is what we’ve typically seen on this size of land assembly downtown. This initial filing doesn’t indicate further details on the uses of the two towers, and the developer of the buildings remains unclear, since this permit was filed on behalf of the project by engineering consultancy Kimley-Horn.
