The City of Austin has given the green light to one of its most ambitious projects yet which was recently coined with the unique name of Waterline.

Upon completion, this record-breaking skyscraper will stand at over 1,022 feet and will take the title of the tallest building in Texas.

Transforming How Austin is Envisioned, Designed, & Experienced

Located minutes away from downtown on East Cesar Chavez & Red River Streets near Rainey St. District, it’s destined to become an incredible showstopper as a mixed-use tower that includes office space, hotels, and residential units along with plentiful amenities for visitors, boasting a total of 2.6 million square feet that will include:

  • 74 Stories
  • 251-Unit Hotel
  • 352-Unit Residential Complex
  • 700,000 Square Feet of Office Space
  • 24,000 Square Feet of Retail and Restaurant Space

In alignment with WGI’s vision, this soon-to-be record-breaking tower will transform how Austin is envisioned, designed, and experienced, all while overlooking Waller Creek and the Waterloo Greenway.

Development partners Lincoln Property Company and Kairoi Residential have already broken ground on this breathtaking building that will offer a unique blend of office space and hospitality services such as hotels and residential units for visitors.

Oh, and not to mention The Waterline will have direct access to the breathtaking views of Lady Bird Lake!

The tower is estimated for completion within four years from now with a tentative opening set for late 2026.
