The reality these countries are just now building higher towers, and Austin currently has 2 of the 4 tallest buildings under construction in the US, just shows how high Austin is punching above its weight in relation to its population!

The crown screams public observation deck. It would be a shame if they didn't take advantage of such an opportunity.

Yes, its really amazing how far Austin has come for skyscraper construction and growth. It'll probably beat out dallas (maybe even houston) by the end of the decade. But the CTBUH data is a bit misleading. Architectually topped out buildings are still counted as under construction. Which means that 'The Spiral' and 'The Brooklyn Tower' are under construction and they are higher than 98 Red River.

Here are the links to those towers:

Yeah, CTBUH construction lists should probably come with an asterisk.

Unfortunately it won't happen. A private amenity deck on top of the tower for renters only will be a major marketing point considering how high the rents will be. Our best option for any type of public access to the top of a major tower is the restaurant on top of the Ritz-Carlton tower, and that project is not a sure thing.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want common folks like me freeloading the view the residents are paying dearly for.

Wait, Doesn't Dallas have some supertall proposals? What's the status of that?

No. The one 83-story tower proposal that people thought would be a supertall, is all residential and maybe hotel and will fall short of supertall status.

Talk of an epic up to ~80 story tower for Goldman Sacks could be a game-changer for Big D https://www.dallasnews.com/business/...-a-generation/

Cannot believe we have a 1,000+ footer u/c in ATX, doubt Houston or Dallas will be ok with this for long. May the next boom begin.

The ATX · #**2151** Posted **Jul 31, 2022, 3:27 AM**

Goldman Sacks is not building or occupying an 80-story tower in Dallas. The Dallas project compilation thread has more info.

SproutingTowers · #**2152** Posted **Jul 31, 2022, 5:49 AM**

I wonder if this building will be used for the Over the Edge fundraiser.

Goldman doesn't have enough employees in Dallas for an 83 floor tower. They don't even operate that large of a building in NYC and they are subleasing half the space in 1 liberty in JC.

GS is moving into an awesome multi tower project in Dallas. But it's not the 83-story tower which will be residential and hotel. The GS office tower should be a big one too. But neither tower will be a supertall.

The GS "Tower" is planned to be in the range of 15-20 stories. The rest of the awesome multi tower project (especially the 83-story tower) is not much more than speculation at this point.

I think everything in that story seems to be accurate. But I don't think that story claims that G-S will occupy an 83-story tower. The reality is that the G-S building is only planned to be 15-20 stories.

Crane decor?

They have installed a neat looking bridge on the premises.
