They could go higher. That block is not affected by a CVC.

Downtown residents, developer at odds over planned tower
By Gary Dinges
Residents of a downtown Austin high-rise say a 24-story tower slated to be built immediately adjacent to their homes is too close for comfort.
Plans call for the tower to be 16 feet from balconies on the south side of the Plaza Lofts, at 311 W. Fifth St., homeowners say.
Taylor and her neighbors are asking for 25 additional feet of space between the tower and the Plaza Lofts building. That, she says, will give residents some room to breathe and allow more light to enter their homes.
“We don’t care if they make the building 100 stories tall,” she said. “All we’re asking for is 25 extra feet.”
