Austin’s 58-Story “Jenga Tower” To Redefine City
Curbed | Dec. 2, 15
Austin’s boom town reputation only grows with the news that the consortium developing a 58-story high-rise just finalized the purchase of two acres downtown. According to the Austin American-Statesman, the $14.5 million deal means construction on The Independent, a proposed 58-story high-rise that will boast 370 condos with prices up to $3 million per unit, can begin next month. The estimated $300 million project, announced late last year, joins a crowd of projects set to reshape the burgeoningSeaholm District, centered around a former power plant adjacent to Lady Bird Lake.
