Easily. Austin already has the tallest all residential buildings west of the Mississippi.

Nope. The Beaudry (695') in LA is the tallest all residential building west of the Mississippi.

Some sources put it at 655' though it looks more like 695' compared to the surrounding buildings.

SkyscraperPage has it listed as 655 feet, which lists the source for that height as the building elevations, which is a pretty definitive source. The exact height is 654 feet 6 inches. One thing to note, that height is measured from the street level on 7th Street, but there's also a sunken plaza that goes down an extra 15 feet on that side of the tower. In addition to that, there's also a location next to the parking garage on 8th Street that drops down another 40 feet. I believe that is where the 695 foot height comes from. That's a bit deceiving, though, as that point is only next to the parking garage, and the tower is located on the other end of the block.

There's also 1000 Hill, which is listed as 760 feet. That one's under construction, or at least, is listed as under construction in the database. I couldn't find a construction thread on it, though.

That height also comes from the building elevations, here:

I think that the tallest all residential west of Chicago is indeed in Austin now.

1000 Hill in LA is under construction (maybe up to 12 stories or so) but the most recent plans submitted to the city indicated a significant height shave and if those are final then it will be under 600 ft. It will be essentially be the same height as Onni's 825 S Hill just 2 blocks north.
