What? "Finally see some construction in Austin?" Construction in central Austin has been quite active for more than 20 consecutive years. And, that does not include the tremendous about of construction on traffic corridors, The Domain, and other urban developments.

Actually, Austin's council is filled with NIMBY's and leans left on most topics. Also, RE prices in Austin are higher than in Dallas and Houston. Not the other way around.

When you include built, U/C, submitted site plans awaiting approval and current proposals - Austin may have in the neighborhood of 32 buildings above 500' tall by 2028.
