Wonderful use of that lot. Location and purpose are good marriage! Plus more affordable residential in City Core. Win.

Some of those units are going to have incredible views of the Capital and downtown skyline!

Love the brick!

[Sigaven]

The brick is going to complement that church beautifully.

6-13-24 Update. Since the last update the ATX Tower and 415 Colorado have topped out. By the next update Modern Austin should have topped out, and Waterline should be just about finished with it's middle section.

Republic seems to have slowed down slightly, likely in part due to its intricate floor design. Paseo is moving right along.

I still haven't found time to fix the top of The Travis in the diagrams...

So...

Current vertical construction as a percent of total height:

Waterline - ~45%
The Republic - ~60%
ATX Tower - 100% (TO)
The Modern - ~95%
415 Colorado - 100% (TO)
The Travis - 100% (TO)
Paseo - ~75%

In the spirit of asking for way too much of you guys who are good at this stuff, can we see a diagram (with or without the updates - finished heights are fine) of ALL Austin towers, or perhaps the tallest 20 or so, side by side, so we can see where all of the new ones line up in the grand scheme of things?

Thanks, bobby & others, for your contributions!

Go to the diagrams section of the forum:

Here's the tallest 15 from 2018, and 5.5 years later the tallest from 2024. Quite a drastic change - reminiscent of Dallas from the 80s.

Only three of the top 15 from 2018 (Austonian, Fairmont (which is kinda cheating with that spire), and 360 Condominiums) are still in the top 15.

Dude, there's a green line right at the top. What else do you want?!

Dont forget the teal blue around the door. Teal is a color right?

So is beige, if we're being honest.

[Jdawgboy]

I feel that if it's going to have a name like that, it should be filled with an array of vibrant colors.... Plus a field....
