If you’re ever visiting Rainey Street in Austin, or just driving up or down I-35, around the Austin Harbour Bridge that goes over the Colorado River, you might be wondering what’s being built in that area.
The sight of cranes and growing towers over the years has been constant, something that most city dwelling Texans are all too familiar with. Austin is clearly no exception. We took a close look at this area to help you understand the towers being built, and the towers being proposed. Here’s a Google Earth view with massing diagrams we have for each tower; the rich purple-blue (HotBlocks blue) means under construction, the paler color means proposed.
