Cool AUSTIN | Moon Tower | 188 FT | 18 FLOORS

Developer: Lincoln Ventures
Architect:
Type: Student Housing, 165 units (563 beds)
Location: 2204 San Antonio, West Campus
Construction Timeline: Fall 2018 Start - August 2020 Completion

*Feb, 2018 Article

Ministry’s West Campus building replaced with high-rise

Quote:
UT students bought a piece of land in West Campus for $1 million in 1950 to build a space for a ministry, but now Johnson Trube & Associates will buy the property for $3.8 million to build an apartment complex, according to the Texas Baptists website.

A high rise will tower over 22nd Street and San Antonio Street, but the Baptist Student Ministry, BSM, which has owned the land for 60 years, plans to buy back the first two floors.

The new building will not open until August 2020. In the meantime, the BSM will operate out of rented space. BSM member Garrett Tittle said the silver lining of not needing to maintain a building is that they have more time to serve to UT students.

That is quite possibly the worst name for a building, ever.

It’s actually one of the better looking high-rises going up in West Campus, which is just outside of Downtown. The neighborhood is under a height restriction, with a max height of ~200 ft only allowed for a portion of the area.

I like it, at least, I'm more enthused with this latest rendering. Plus, it'll be only the 2nd high rise in West Campus with a rooftop deck.
