The Downtown Austin skyline has grown a lot over the past few decades. But it was once a collection of dusty roads. This is how we got where we are today.

With all of these new towers the density will go up quite a bit.

With no public transport to support it. Austin is a mess

Austin had a nice mid-sized skyline in the 80s, 90s & 00s. It has not had a decent new tall building since the Frost Bank Tower was built.

With all this room in Texas it makes no sense to build all these buildings on top of each other traffic is already horrendous in Austin especially I35

@yorklovesrush 7 месяцев назад

Encouraging people to live in suburbs and become car dependant instead of living in dense walkable neighbourhoods certainly won’t help traffic

That's why you build a rail system. It's insane that we don't already have one

Actually, was just in the News a couple of days ago, the 'Tallest Building in Texas' was Turned Down. KLBJ 590/997 Proposed tallest skyscraper in Texas fails to receive approval - KVUE 2 days ago ... In an article from the Austin Business Journal (ABJ), the skyscraper's developer, Wilson Capital, failed to gain approval from the City of ...

😲" According to news reports, It was just rejected due to design issues and lacking public interaction with the surroundings. Austin's STILL a red hot and diverse market, despite current Tech Industry woes. Unless the economics fail, I doubt the proposed Wilson skyscraper won't happen. "

@@3618499 very true. The Wilson Tower is still far from being cancelled.

@baopham8676 Год назад

The Wilson tower did not get approval bc of the lack of retail space at street level in its design. I'm confident that the developer will make the right adjustment

@AwesomeBabyBoomer Год назад

Thankfully and rightfully so.

That’s a different building. The Waterline is slightly shorter but will also now be the tallest building in Texas

I am a 59 year old native Austinite, and our skyline use to be pleasant to look at, but over the years, the city council has allowed our skyline to become uglier than sin. It is atrocious. It's horrible to look at, and whoever allowed some of these buildings to be built should be tarred, feathered, and run out a town on a rail.
