Austin | Rise | 294 Feet | 26 Floors | Complete

The ATX · #1 Posted **Dec 25, 2020, 7:19 PM**

There is no height information available for this project yet. But it could be another 300 footer because it's in the area of West Campus that is zoned for a maximum roof height of 300'. A site plan for a project named "Nueces Tower" at 2206 Nueces St. was filed Wednesday. We could have information about the height in three or four weeks after the site plan goes into review:

The current West Campus 300' projects are:

St. Austin School & Apartments - 325' - Proposed
Waterloo - 321' - U/C
Union on 24th - 312' - Proposed

Here's the front of the site from Nueces St.:

Here it is from the alley running through the block in back of the site:

When did Union on 24th drop to 312 feet? I still had 320 feet listed for it from the elevations.

312' is the number I came up with for Union on 24th when I first looked at the elevations. I hadn't read the thread (that dropped to page 3!) until today since I started it back in May. I see that you posted a comment that the height was 320' based on the same elevations I looked at. I still come up with 312'. There were newer elevations posted to the site plan in October that may be slightly different than the first ones. I would post them, but Imgur has been down all day. It's the "AWPE U1 Red Line Comments" file attachment.

This project is in conceptual stage presently, but is calling for a 24 story building with 338 Units. Groundbreaking slated for Summer of '21.

Nice info. That means it will will be less than 300' - maybe 250' - 275'. But it has moved passed conceptual since a site plan was filed.

26-stories counting the amenities level. Just shy of 300' at 291'. Maybe 294'.

Agreed. This is about 294'/295'...those two mechanical pieces stick up above the 291' mark.

Both taller and nicer looking that your average West Campus build.

The ATX · #11 Posted **Jun 24, 2021, 12:59 AM**

According to a new right-of-way closure permit, construction starts (or at least the right-of-away needed for construction is closed) on 07/06.

Looks like demolition is complete and excavation work has begun at the site

Great update and nice view. Just imagine if all of Central Austin was zoned accordingly. We would not be having a housing shortage. This is a city, and dense residential buildings are where people in the city live. If anyone wants a suburban lifestyle, move to the suburbs.

Right!! Electing housing skeptics never goes well. Big elections next year. Mayor, Tovo, Kitchen and Renteria are all termed out!
