We have yet to recieve official word (directly) from Wilson Capital regarding this project. However, all indications are that this project has been slashed in scope. We are not sure why as demand is still strong and this was only going to be 450 apartment units.
Many don't even think it will come to fruition at all now. The company is quite leveraged at the moment with other multifamily projects (thousands of units).
As for the other supertalls - only one has been announced and it's under construction (Waterline). There have been no other supertall announcements. So, technically, Wilson Tower's death will have no affect on other "potential" supertalls.
Again, demand for residential is still strong in downtown Austin. However, given the uncertainty of the economy, higher construction costs, higher interest rates, etc...don't look for any potential supertall to break ground anytime soon. And, it will more than likely be all residential or coupled with a hotel.
