JDawgATX Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 http://www.zieglercooper.com/congress%20%20condos.htmWow, now Ive herd rumors about this but I didn't think it was true. I wonder how Tom Stacey is going to respond to this. When the Novare/360 went from 40 stories to 44 stories, Tom Stacey announced his tower was going from 41 stories to 45 stories and at least 705 feet. Austin is defintatly in the middle of a race to see who will build the tallest tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDawgATX Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) The city Zoning commission has aproved Tom Stacy's tower, If you havn't seen the renderings for it yet they were already posted up in a different thread. Ill try to get them here as well. From what was said at the meeting the building will be upwards of 700 to possibly 750 feet high. They were also supposed to vote on the Benchmark Project also at 700 feet but aparently Benchmark requested a two week waiting period. It seems they wanted to see what Tom Stacy's building was going to look like. Look for the Benchmark project to change to compete with the height of 5th at Congress. There is definatly a skyscraper race to see who will build the tallest building in Austin. Edited May 12, 2006 by JDawgATX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 There’s word floating around that yet another supertall is in the works. It’ll be taller than 98 Red River. This comes from two different users on SSP (one being a very reliable source). Start date of 3Q 2023 with a four year construction timeline. We may learn more from the design commission meeting late next month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strickn Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 The Karlin Railyard redevelopment proposal was floated in January 2020… is it that one again? https://austin.towers.net/two-towers-at-the-railyard-could-redefine-austins-skyline-twice/ was hoped to be integrated with a podium that would expand the Convention Center itself. That would be excellent design work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sources on SSP are saying 858’ is the previous height. Still proposed as the next supertall- all residential with retail. We may see our first sign of it Friday or Monday on the design commission meeting. 410 E. 5th Steeet is the address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Austin’s has the most buildings over 500’ feet under construction & planned, more underway than Chicago. It’s set surpass Dallas in the number of buildings over 500’ feet in the next few years. Austin is set to surpass Dallas in the number of buildings over 500’. I believe the city also has more underway above 500’ than Chicago. Yep. That'll give us 18 over 500 feet. The situation... Houston - 35 | +2 under construction Dallas - 20 Austin - 9 | +10 under construction Forth Worth - 3 San Antonio - 0 Over 500' in Austin (as of today): 9 = T/O or Complete 10 = Site Prep or U/C 11 = Proposed, Site Plan Under Review, or Approved Plus, there are these projects which should be over 500' (not included in the numbers above): -3rd & Congress -ATX Tower East -ATX Tower West -99 Red River -309 E. 3rd If all built - that's 35. Currently, Austin is tied with Atlanta Skyscrapers over 500+ feet Miami: 66 (60 built | +6 u/c) Houston: 37 (35 built | +2 u/c) Los Angeles: 31 (27 built | +4 u/c) San Francisco 25 (25 built | 0 u/c) Boston: 23 (20 built | +3 u/c) Seattle: 21 (20 built | 0 u/c) Dallas: 20 (20 built | 0 u/c) Atlanta: 19 (19 built | 0 u/c) Austin: 19 (9 built | +10 u/c) Las Vegas: 15 (15 built | 0 u/c) Philly: 15 (13 built | +2 u/c) Pittsburgh: 11 (11 built | 0 u/c) Minneapolis: 10 (9 built | +1 u/c) Detroit: 9 (8 built | +1 u/c) Charlotte: 8 (7 built | +1 u/c) Denver: 8 (8 built | 0 u/c) Baltimore: 4 (4 built | 0 u/c) Portland: 3 (3 built | 0 u/c) St. Louis: 3 (3 built | 0 u/c) San Diego: 1 (1 built | 0 u/c) I used the SSP database Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
