Austin Could Get Texas’ Tallest Skyscraper With Proposed 1,200-Foot Tower
The request for 402 and 408 Congress Ave. outlines about 87 condominiums, 221 hotel rooms and a restaurant on a 0.42-acre downtown Austin site.
A zoning request for a downtown Austin site at 402 and 408 Congress Ave. would raise the allowed building height there to 1,200 feet, enough for a tower 175 feet taller than the 1,025-foot Waterline, now the tallest building in Texas. The proposal, known as Project Bolo, covers about 0.42 acres at West Fourth Street.
The application seeks to change the site's zoning from DDB400, which allows buildings up to 750 feet, to DDB850, which allows up to 1,200 feet. The preliminary program calls for about 87 condominiums, 221 hotel rooms and a restaurant, with no office space.
