There’s still a very long way to go until it’s in those other cities’ league.

Another factor is that Austin’s skyline is dominated by residential, whereas others are dominated by office. The former tend to be narrower and less visually imposing than the latter. Collectively, office-dominated skylines simply look larger because the buildings have heft.

This Downtown Demolition Application Could Tell a Tower-Shaped Story

Quote:

A demolition application scheduled to appear at the October 5 meeting of the city’s Historic Landmark Commission could point to a new tower development on the northwestern edge of downtown Austin. The permit, listed for consideration on the upcoming meeting’s agenda, indicates an applicant is seeking to demolish the building at 1800 Guadalupe Street, a former apartment building dating back to 1923 that’s currently occupied by the office of law firm Dunham & Jones. Co-founding attorney Paul Dunham sold the property earlier this summer to an LLC connected with the Nashville-based real estate company Adventurous Journeys Capital Partners — and that same LLC also simultaneously purchased the larger adjacent western property at 410 West 18th Street from owners the Burt Group.

The under construction numbers are probably a little off for some of these cities. So keep that in mind because the SSP database is not up to date for u/c buildings for every city.

I noticed that the first 4 of the 5 under construction for Houston have finished construction and the 511 foot Methodist centennial tower under construction hasn’t been added on SSP’s u/c database nor have any of the other recent buildings that just began construction. I’d imagine it’s like this for a number of the other cities too. I also seriously doubt SF has 0 300+ footers under construction.

But granted that the buildings already built list is accurate.

This was the case for the moment. 30 Van Ness recently began construction (540’).

I don't know. I like the privacy of my water closet. But skyline pisses at the Headliner's Club should be a bucket list item for all skyscraper nerds (at least for the males).

Can we please keep this discussion on topic? I hardly see how this is relevant to the conversation. This discussion is about skyline shits, not skyline pisses.

True. Skylines are for everyone whether sitting or standing.

Zapatan · #17 Posted **Oct 11, 2022, 12:40 AM**

Austin has such a nice natural setting with the river, I'm so happy this was one of the cities that happened to boom. It could potentially rival any city outside NY or Chicago sometime this decade.

I wonder when we'll see plans for 3rd and Congress and if rumors of a new tallest are true.

drummer · #18 Posted **Oct 10, 2022, 2:13 PM**

Not skyline-oriented, but in the Himalayas, there are some awesome road-side bathrooms with an open window looking at the mountain range. Not too shabby, if it weren't for the smell....

Here is your latest skyline shits.
