One of our Austin forumers 'priller' Photoshopped in a model of The Austonian, which is now under construction (crane base has been installed).. The building will become Austin's new tallest in 2009 at 683 feet with 56 floors. It'll be the tallest in Texas outside of Houston and Dallas. For a time it'll probably be the tallest all residential building west of the Mississippi, outside of Chicago of course. There will be more buildings than this in 2009, but this was to show The Austonian. There's at least 4 others that would be complete by then, with several more rising.
