Residential high-rise plans advance at Irene's, Taquero Mucho site in west downtown Austin

Quote:

Plans to expand the west side of downtown Austin's skyline with a residential high-rise on Shoal Creek are advancing following a unanimous Planning Commission vote April 25.

In a nutshell

The new tower project is proposed on a 0.57-acre site at 506-508 West Ave. and would include 359 residential units and a parking garage across nearly 493,000 square feet. The site is currently home to the eateries Irene's and Taquero Mucho between West Fifth and West Sixth streets.

The new tower project is proposed at 565 feet tall, potentially around 40 stories and slightly taller than the Frost Bank Tower and Indeed Tower.

I really like this! Is it only proposed right now?

It's not approved yet. It still needs City Council approval for a zoning change.

I like the clay color and the way it plays with its neighbors.
