Congrats on the CDG pick up!

Looks like Norwegian is already looking at Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Rome, Barcelona and/or Madrid from AUS.

Also, it seems the airport has been in close talks with two Asian SkyTeam members: Korean Air and China Eastern...hummmmm.

Way to go, AUS!!!

I'm surprised these haven't been posted over here yet...Or maybe they have and I missed it.

1) 311 West Seventh - New, ~40-story development near 6xGuad is working its way through the city entitlement process now:

2) The Railyard - A new development on the site where the old Railyard condos are. My cousin used to live there. Great location - had lots of fun there. Karlin Real Estate (Los Angeles) paid just under $1500/SF for the ~1.62 ac property (a record). They are marketing the following for the site. Could be Austin's first supertall:

^ Wow!

Anyone know projected height of the railyard?

It seems to be around 1,100'. BUT that is a vision in a marketing flyer. The good news is that Karlin who was marketing the site is the one who bought it. They will be going tall, but no site plan has been submitted yet.

Agree. Karlin spent a record amount (over $100 million) for the land and they'll want to see a return on that investment.

There are no height impediments on that land. And, one would not market the site without already having an idea of the project in mind. The brochure was quite detailed.

Looks like the Railyard Project is more than just marketing. Development paperwork has been submitted to the city. ATX Tower East, and ATX Tower West are the project names currently given for the towers. No information as of yet on tower heights or floor counts.

ATX Tower East: 500 Apts. + 300 Condos + 15K Sq. Ft. Retail
ATX Tower West: 884K Sq. Ft. office + 15K Sq. Ft. Retail

These are definitely going to be of significant height, possibly new tallest candidates. Looking forward to seeing the final design and details of these towers.

Suspect it’s only a matter of time. Austin is a phenomenon.

clubtokyo · #11 Posted **Oct 31, 2019, 1:31 AM**

Yes bring on the super tall in Austin!!

Dariusb · #12 Posted **Oct 31, 2019, 4:30 AM**

Awesome! This city is always coming up with something new and exciting!

The ATX · #13 Posted **Nov 18, 2019, 4:26 AM**

Most of Austin's tallest projects don't get posted about in this thread. But to sum it up, we now have over 40 projects proposed or U/C that are between 300' and 850'. It's hard to comprehend that many towers going up in addition to what has already been built during the past several years.

Just wondering, are all of these towers going to be built in/near downtown or other areas of the city as well?

Three of the 42 I counted are being developed for the Domain/Broadmoor area in north Austin. So 39 are downtown. Fourteen of the 42 have broken ground which is 1/3 of them.

Here's a photo taken by clayton_rogue and posted in the West Campus thread in the Austin subforum about a week ago. It's looking north away from downtown towards campus. The view now has 21 cranes I believe with around 15 more in downtown proper in the opposite direction.

Wow! At this rate of construction and new projects it seems Austin's CBD will have just as many towers as Dallas's and Houston's CBD. Or am I jumping the gun? That panoramic shot you posted is gorgeous by the way.

You're jumping the gun, but what Austin has going on is definitely impressive.

The Best Forumer · #19 Posted **Nov 18, 2019, 3:23 PM**

can someone post a panoramic pic?

clubtokyo · #20 Posted **Nov 19, 2019, 5:12 AM**

Yeah this thread isn’t updated as much as the other Austin threads, but we have a ton of major projects underway. Austin is booming!
