Austin is also somewhat insulated because of the large base of jobs in City, County, State, and Federal government, as well as UT.

Add to that US Army Futures Command and other business growth that comes with that landing in Austin (though I guess that's Federal).

In the last decade? We've had a fair amount. Since the Austonian, we got Seaholm, W Residences, 4 season residences, 70 rainey, the independant, and 5th and west, and Austin proper. Not to mention the few that are in the pipeline and are very likely to begin construction within a year from now (i.e. 6 x guad). Not to mention even more apartment buildings.

Fair amount of projects yes, but not that many units per project considering big Austin is. I seem to recall the number Austin can reasonably absorb is 300 new urban core units per year. Apartment buildings are typically easier to get funding for....if the economy dips, people ease up on purchasing, but they will still rent.

Almost all of those buildings are mixed use, not all condos, hence why funding was easier.

what are the next 6 we think will realistically break ground by summer 2019?

93 Red River, 425 Riverside, The Huston, 5th and Brazos, and 300 Colorado. Also, it's not a highrise, but I'd imagine the associated 9-floor mixed-use development being built in conjunction with 70 Rainey will start sometime soon.

Others that are possible are 6th & Guad, Block 185, Alexan, 5th & Lavaca, and 405 Colorado.

5th and Brazos is already UC.

300 Colorado practically is, too.

Looking back through the threads, the Travis (two towers, right across from the Van Zandt) seem like it's ready for demo. That's going to be a pretty amazing project when it finally gets revving.

That's 91 (93?) red river. The Travis is directly west of the Van Zandt and the Shore, and will replace (the yet-to-be-demolished) villas on town lake condos.

Yah, you're right, though I did in fact mean The Travis. Poor prepositional phrasing on my part. Should've been "right beside the Van Zandt" rather than "right across from the Van Zandt."

so next up on deck in the urban core:
Quincy
Hanover
Alexan
405 Colorado

Am I missing anything?

Amli

6 X Guad
44 East
Travis Tower I

I’d list Republic but it feels more speculative right now. Travis is at least starting demo.

What is the Amli you’re referring to?

The ATX · #55 Posted **Feb 26, 2019, 7:26 PM**

Among the 300'+ towers, these should be the next ones to start because they are approved and have filed tower crane permits:
The Quincy
48 East
405 Colorado

The next best guesses based on permitting:
The Avenue (Probable 2nd Qtr. start)
6 X Guad (I still think the residential could be dropped.)

Best chances for late 2019:
44 East
Travis #1
Hanover
Domain III
Domain IV
