Central Austin is where Austin’s actual luxury condo towers are. The Austonian, The Independent, and 360 Condominiums are all downtown high-rises with the concierge, valet, and amenity-deck package that other parts of the city just don’t have.
I’m Robbie English, REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Realty, here in Austin.
The buildings that define this market
The Austonian, completed in 2010, rises 56 floors and 683 feet with 163 residences — for a stretch it was Austin’s tallest residential building. The Independent, a 58-story tower, has since taken that title. 360 Condominiums stands 44 floors with 430 units, and 70 Rainey, in the Rainey Street district, is another downtown high-rise with river and skyline views. 5th and West and Austin Proper Residences round out the higher-end options — the latter sits atop the Austin Proper Hotel with 99 condos.
What sets these apart
These buildings typically include concierge service, valet parking, private pools, and fitness centers — the full high-rise package. HOA fees run higher than what you’d see in a boutique building, so it’s worth reviewing reserve funds and association budgets closely before you make an offer. That’s part of what I walk clients through on any of these buildings.
Comparing your options
