Future:ATX | Rainey Street District | Texas' Tallest Tower | 2022 | Construction and Development

[@chocolatechipslime]

It’s amazing how much downtown Austin had grown. I moved to the area in 2010. Every year they have added several skyscrapers. I wouldn’t doubt if Austin had a larger skyline than Houston and Dallas in a few years

[@joemartin1253]

Dallas probably Houston no.

[@camerontree2605]

@@joemartin1253 your probably right about that. houston is massive and their still growing, although at a slower rate than austin so you never know

[@JasnoGT]

Dallas has the 80 story Goldman Sachs tower approved. That should be interesting as well. Austin is catching up but Dallas still has more 150+meter buildings than many cities including ATL and Philadelphia so Austin still has some work to do. Houston is in a different league.

[@chocolatechipslime]

@@JasnoGT Dallas has several decades of growth on Austin. Dallas, ATL and Philadelphia were all major cities back when Austin was just a small ignored cow town so of course Austin has catching up to do. Austin’s growth has mainly came in the 2000’s. That’s super impressive to see where they are at now. Houston for the size of the metro area is unimpressive, now I know they have several different skylines which takes away from their downtown skyline but if it were all 1 skyline it would be awesome. I just don’t get that wow factor from Houston especially considering it’s the 4th largest city.

[@theatx379]

Austin will pass Dalles in 3-5 years. But Houston is way ahead.

[@californiamade5608]

Also thanks for adding how the second skyline is going to look on Austin. I’ve been looking everywhere

[@jesuslovesthebroken]

I still remember when they added the Austonian Tower and I believed I was going to have to wait a decade for another skyscraper, I'm so blessed to wetness this growth of our city.

[@californiamade5608]

That’s so awesome for Texas! And especially Austin! The tallest in Texas and third tallest west of the Mississippi, after LA, & SF’s tallest.

[@blifx]

of course california tries to make everyone feel bad about themselves. really cool austin has a productive government that actually allows for this kind of development to keep homelessness, corporate feudalism, and overpriced properties at bay.

[@PHOENIXAHELO]

Awesome visuals and editing, keep up the good work 👍

[@theatx379]

That's incredible. It would be great to see a video for the rest of downtown. I can provide project info like floor counts.

San Antonio needs to catch up.

[@larrywilliams9735]

We don't have the leadership. I think San Antonio has added ONE meaningful building to the skyline in the last 10 years and that was the Frost building. They are building up Broadway ave and medical center but nothing like this. San Antonio will soon become #4 .1. Houston, 2. Austin 3. Dallas 4. San Antonio

This video deserves more views

[@steadybuiltproductions90]

I have to agree with you! And I appreciate that. Share it!

[@christianbrother4724]

I remember in my 20s I was at a halfway house a block away from Rainy street. The place was just a working class inner city hood that no one wanted to really live in.

[@theatx379]

This video only covers the Rainey St. District. There are 59 projects over 300' with 20 over 500' including 875' and 710' towers that are underway.

Wow, can you imagine how it must feel for someone like myself who last saw town in 2002???

[@theatx379]

Since this video was made, another 57-story residential building was proposed for the Rainey District and a 30-story project on hold came back to life. We are now so much higher than Snoop Dogg.

[@calvinjohnson112]

Rainey street has become a party district almost like six street. Most resident sold their property to make room for more highrises.

It’s becoming like Houston as far as skyscrapers and different districts. Right now Houston has 3 different skyline districts… downtown, uptown, and the medical center. Looks like Austin is going to get their version of an uptown.

Austin already has some of the worst traffic in the state. Adding all these housing units is just going to make it that much worse.

[@guadalupereyes1260]

This should be the biggest skyline in Texas when it’s all done. Meanwhile no other city in Texas is growing so fast with skyscrapers like Austin

[@clarenceanderson9959]

You can build how many buildings you want but austin still is a small city, when it comes to population and land size.

[@paulhernandez4909]

Austin does have an awesome skyline for its size but Houston and Dallas have multiple skylines so many high rise buildings citywide even San Antonio has more high-rises than Austin overall. Austin doesn't have many high rises outside the downtown area. Austin is still the 4th largest for corporate base, F500, and multibillion corporations headquartered there.

[@ryanschmidt8468]

I'm interested to see how this affects the culture of Rainey. We consciously avoid going to Rainey because it's meant for 24 year olds and young tourists. Nothing but a bunch of really low-quality bars and restaurants that stop being cool as soon as you turn 25. What else is there to do in Rainey than party? It's not walkable to a whole foods or trader joes, and the roads in Rainey are all single lane. It used to be a residential neighborhood and it still feels like one when driving.

Houston and Dallas are sleeping on Austin 🤔 the Chase Tower, the Wells Fargo Tower, Bank Of America Tower and the Williams Tower have been top 4 for the last 35 years 🤔 Houston will probably slap a taller Tower in the Uptown District 😂

This is INSANE. Rainey street is way to small to accommodate all of this, and the area is crowded enough as is with all of the bars and clubs. The city seriously needs to stop allowing all these developments to happen at once.

I believe in Houston its not allowed to build towers over 305 meters which matches its tallest skyscraper (305 meters / 1002 feet). At least I think in downtown it's restricted due to FAA regulations.
