We do need an updated one!

Can someone post a circa 2000 or so photo compared to today, preferably from a bunch of different angles, would be incredible to see the change. Hell, even since I was last there in 2014, the skyline has changed pretty dramatically.

Love that shot!

Here's my November 2017 list of Austin's tallest projects that are at least 150' tall or appear to have at least one building 150' tall or more based on available information. Two more buildings have been added to the list for the December update.

There are five status types:

U/C - Cement has been poured

Site Prep - Dirt is moving or utility work is underway

Site Demo - At least one structure on the site has been or is being demolished

Proposed - The project has been announced and/or had building permits filed

Planned - Less information is available than a proposed project, more visionary

Projects highlighted in green are underway with financing/funding in place. This can include projects with a status other than "U/C".

Projects highlighted in yellow have been completed during the current calendar year, and have been removed from the project count.

Several of these projects are stale. But I keep them on the list unless either a new proposal for the site is made or the developer sells the site without an approved site plan.

Just a slight correction on item #56:

The decommissioned Brackenridge Hospital site is not the same as the Brackenridge Tract, which is off of Lake Austin Blvd west of MoPac:

I'm betting someone who didn't know there were two Brackenridge properties in play might have a heart attack knowing "7 towers" were planned for the less urban location if they lived nearby it.

New renderings for the Block 71 Office Tower, which also got a bump in height to 555 feet.

Domain office towers renderings. These are going to be the tallest buildings outside of downtown and the UT Campus area.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — With the sale of the Austin Independent School District’s downtown headquarters nearing completion, the district says it’s looking to the Southfield Building at the northwest corner of Interstate 35 and East Ben White Boulevard as its “new” location.

This will be cool to watch. I work in Domain 8, on the 12th floor, so I can take come pictures for you guys.

I definitely miss working downtown sometimes (for the views) but for the most part I'm over it. So many huge companies are moving to the Domain. It's becoming a real economic power, as opposed to just a mall.

[AviationGuy]

The Domain is really looking good, and only getting better rapidly. Hopefully it will truly become a second "downtown".

The only things bothering me about it is that some of the nearby neighborhoods are pretty run down, and the area along Burnet Rd south to 183 is very shabby. I think the Burnet Rd corridor will eventually be much better aesthetically, though.

Speaking of the Burnet Rd corridor:

More high-rise homes, offices and shops set to go vertical near The Domain in Austin

Next year will be huge for Capella in Austin. The company is headed full tilt into the mixed-use sector, spanning from Leander to Smithville.

But the main event is likely the proposed office, retail and residential project envisioned for the southeast corner of West Braker Lane and Burnet Road.

Capella secured about three acres of highly coveted land behind the existing Discount Tire facility at 2623 W. Braker Lane. The company hired two notable names to manage the development process — Kimley-Horn engineering and Page, the Austin-founded architecture firm that recently delivered the new Dell Medical School at the University of Texas.

Buildout of the mixed-use project could easily top $200 million, Capella executives said. Plans are being finalized and will be submitted to the city soon.

Providing a highly amenitized plan is essential to success. As currently configured, the project will have 250,000 square feet of office space, more than 300 apartments that will be differentiated by design from other complexes in the area, and retail to support residents and employees.

Groundbreaking is projected by the end of 2018 with delivery likely in 2020.

I counted 23 floors...is that right?

Edit: Just saw the other thread. Exciting addition for the area!

Group plans to replace Expo Center with arena, stadium

A small local group with a big vision and political backing has unveiled plans for a wide-ranging project called the East Austin District, highlighted by a large arena and a multi-purpose stadium.

Austin Sports & Entertainment, co-founded by former University of Texas swimming star Sean Foley and New England sports entrepreneur Andrew Nestor, partnered with Rodeo Austin, intends to work with the city of Austin and Travis County governments to replace the Travis County Expo Center with a 15,000-seat arena adjacent to a 40,000-seat open-air facility.

“We have private land and private money, and our goal is to build a world-class sports and entertainment hub in East Austin,” Nestor said.

The University of Houston opened 40,000-seat TDECU Stadium in 2014 for $128 million after it was originally budgeted at $105 million. The Austin facility could far exceed the cost of constructing TDECU Stadium. If the project breaks ground in 2018, it could be completed by 2021, Nestor said.
