Pomeroy Development Cirp. has announced plans to rennovate the 20-story Capitol Tower located at 206 E. Ninth St. in downtown Austin. The building will remain as office space when it reopens in the middle of 2007.

With a tightening office market, Pomeroy now will have one of the largest contiguous blocks of available space in downtown in its Capitol Tower. The building's 736 parking spaces — a ratio of more than four spaces per 1,000 square feet — represents the highest parking ratio among downtown buildings, Reinhart said.

With unobstructed views of the Capitol and the University of Texas, Capitol Tower will be the first of the two office buildings to be remodeled, with renovations to its facade, lobby, garage and mechanical systems. The tower also will be topped with a new, curved crown.

There is life in the Austin Forum!  

This is the first time I have seen this, but I don't remember seeing any building like this one downtown.
