For whatever reason, I had the impression that that rendering was for BBVA. But I can't seem to find the thread for that one.

We are so lucky to have so many great projects in Austin that something like Tower 5C (5th & Colorado) drops to the second page.

That is Tower 5C (all office). The "BBVA" tower is mostly residential with a 6-level office component just above the podium. I'm not 100% sure BBVA paid for the naming rights to the tower. If so, it may now be called PNC Tower.

Both projects are being developed by Ryan Companies.

I'd of guessed that the BBVA would be an office tower as well. I didn't realize it would be residential. I like PNC Tower as a name. It sounds legit. Lol

To me BBVA gives it more of an international presence. I know there’s a PNC tower in Pittsburgh, but there are BBVA towers all over central and South America and Europe.

That's kind of what I was thinking as well. Austin doesn't have as much international branding. I suppose that's nice in some ways, but it's inevitably going to happen as it takes an increasingly large position in global business, etc.

Elsewhere in downtown Austin, Ryan Companies is moving forward with plans for a mixed-use high-rise at 321 W. Sixth Street, with 390 luxury apartments and 96,000 square feet of office space. A spokesperson with the development firm stated construction is expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2021. Initial reporting on this development said the high-rise, which would be caddy-corner to 6 X Guadalupe, would be 60 stories tall.

Someone on this forum the other day said Ryan Companies gave the 5C project to another developer and that BBVA would move forward.

Looks like they were correct.

Seems to be on the right in this rendering.

This must be what it felt like for Houston skyscraper enthusiasts watching the 1970s-1980s boom. I still cannot believe how much the floodgates have burst open with skyscraper construction here in Austin these days.

Although in this rendering it looks like it spans the whole block. I thought it was only going to be half as wide as it appears in this image.

BBVA...now 390 apartments and 96,000 SF of office?!?

They've increased the apartment count from 363 and lowered the office SF from 120,000...

Yeah I think it's really only a massing - but it does seem to be about the right height

Great news! I really cannot wait to see this skinny baby go up!! If only they could add a spire

Sigaven · #**238** Posted **Jan 28, 2021, 6:10 PM**

Yeah a lot of the towers in that rendering appear to just be massing.

oberthewhat · #**239** Posted **Jan 30, 2021, 12:02 AM**

I completely forgot about this project. I am kinda surprised it is moving forward.

It looks pretty accurate to me.
