Tallest Texas Tower Tops Out
1,025 feet is as tall as the Waterline tower in Austin is going to get. Lincoln Property Company and Kairoi Residential announced the milestone earlier this week. The 74-story mixed-use high-rise is scheduled to open in 2026.
Waterline stands 23 feet taller than the JPMorgan Chase Tower in Houston, which had been the tallest building in Texas since 1981.
Located at 98 Red River St., Waterline sits on a 3.3-acre campus near the intersection of Waller Creek and Lady Bird Lake, offering views from every office and residential floor. Designed by KPF, the project features 352 luxury apartment homes, 700,000 square feet of office space, a 251-room 1 Hotel Austin and 24,000 square feet of publicly accessible retail and restaurant space overlooking Waller Creek.
More than 4,750 people have worked on the tower since construction began in 2022. At the peak of construction activity, approximately 875 people were working on-site daily.
