High Street Reaches Austin Tower Milestone

High Street Residential (HSR) and River Street Partners announce they have topped out at 700 River in Austin. The 377-unit residential tower, located at 700 River Street in Austin’s Rainey District, has reached its maximum height of 500 feet and is on track to welcome the first residents in fall 2024. It broke ground in October of 2022.

It’s a busy area. Two other projects of similar size are under construction on the same street and six towers currently in various stages of completion in the immediate Rainey area alone.

Rising 43 stories, 700 River will include a mix of studio to three-bedroom apartments, in addition to a limited number of penthouse units, all with unobstructed views of Lady Bird Lake. Residents of the tower will have access to more than 30,000 square feet of private on-site amenities and will have the Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at their front door. 

HKS is the project’s architect, with collaboration from Lake Flato Architects. DPR Construction is acting as the general contractor.
