The Austonian in downtown Austin

Austin has seen a number of high-rise condo towers go up over the last several years.  Some projects have been postponed and some have been stopped due to the economic downturn.  The Austonian is one that has just topped out.  The Austonian will be Austin’s tallest building and will stand 56 stories tall.  The downtown Austin condo tower is said to be the the tallest residential building outside of Chicago, Miami and New York City, standing 683 feet tall.  Condos will range in size from 1221 square feet on the lower floors to over 8000 square feet higher up.  Prices were initially set to range from around $600,000 to around $8 million.  The project is supposed to be completed sometime next year.

 

Amenities include the 55th floor Austonian Club and a fitness center on the 56th floor with a 360 degree view of Austin.  Amenities will also include 24 hour valet service for Austonian residents and their guests, 24 hour concierge services, a media room that can be reserved from a touch screen in each unit and a massage room.  The 10th floor will feature a 12,000 foot outdoor area with a pool, spa, outdoor kitchens and fireplaces and a secured dog park.
