Genesis, KTGY Complete 54-Story Austin Tower

KTGY and Genesis Real Estate Group delivered The Travis, a 54-story glass residential tower in downtown Austin. KTGY designed the tower; Genesis was the developer. Genesis secured $173.4 million in construction financing from JPMorgan Chase.

Situated on Rainey Street, the design provides over 400 premium riverfront units with unobstructed views of Lady Bird Lake and the Waterloo Trail. The base of the structure is an eight-story mid-rise podium that integrates residential units, parking, amenities, and a retail corner. The amenity offerings include one of the largest elevated amenity decks in the area, with a pool, and a wellness studio. Additionally, The Travis features a coffee shop with outdoorseating, a large bike room, a river-facing artist loft, and a podcast and sound recording studio tailored to modern content creation.

Multiple connections were incorporated along the west façade of the building’s base, reinforcing the project’s integration into the surrounding Rainey Street and Waterloo Greenway context.
