Tall & Urban News

An application filed with the city in early January shows that a developer plans to build a 35-story high-rise, Luminary, with almost 300 luxury condominiums on downtown Austin's northwest side.

The 0.81-acre site is located at the northwest corner of 14th and Guadalupe Streets, west of the Texas State Capitol and SXSW Center, home of South by Southwest’s headquarters. The building will have 286 one- to three-bedroom units with a price range of about USD $ 600,000 to over USD $ 3 million. At street level, there will be 4,800 square feet (446 square meters) of retail space, including a spot for a restaurant. Also included will be parking with an amenity deck above the parking podium and one floor of office space. Residential amenities will have a pool, fitness facilities, and indoor and outdoor spaces with views of the downtown Austin skyline and surrounding neighborhood.

Currently on the site are the offices of the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas (CLEAT). They will remain and gain new office space in the building, occupying approximately 10,000 square feet (929 square meters).

The developer of the planned tower is Northland Living, which launched late last year as the U.S. affiliate of Canadian hospitality powerhouse firm Northland Properties Corp. Northland Properties is based in Vancouver, Canada.
