Austin | 300 Block Congress Residential | Feet? | 55-Stories | Proposed

[The ATX]

We got another 600+ footer proposal that is tall enough to satisfy my self-imposed requirement of only buildings over 600' get their own thread.  This is on the 300 block of Congress Ave., and would be built over some historical buildings.  That means it has an uphill battle for approval because proposals for towers built on top of historical buildings never seem to get far in Austin.  This is all residential (of course, this is Austin) and would be 55-stories.  This Towers article has the info:

This is now the 15th U/C or proposed project that is over 600'.  And there are more that the height info is not yet publicly available.  I think there will be a significant pause in office construction in Austin as well as the rest of the country as interest rates rise and the economy tanks.  Fortunately residential and hospitality is driving Austin's building boom.
