Sixth and Guadalupe, a mixed-use high-rise under construction in Austin at 400 West 6th Street, has recently hit two milestones: the topping out of the commercial portion of the building and commencement of residential construction.  

Designed by Gensler and constructed by JE Dunn, upon completion, this building will reach to 266 meters (875 feet) in the Austin’s skyline. The project, which plans to open in spring 2023, will combine nearly 93,000 square meters (over a million square feet) of office, residential, retail, and outdoor space within one building. This includes 927 square meters (9,984 square feet) of retail on the ground floor, 14 levels of below and above-grade parking with electric vehicle chargers, 54,730 square meters (589,112 square feet) of Class A office space on floors 14 through 32, and 349 residences on floors 34 through 66. 

The ground floor of Sixth and Guadalupe will contain approximately 929 square meters (10,000 square feet) of retail space that aligns with Austin’s vision to create a pedestrian experience and activate the street level. The project’s location at the corner of West 6th Street and Guadalupe places it close to existing public transit and the planned metro line, making it a pedestrian and transit-friendly option for commuters while supporting traffic reduction efforts for the city as a whole.  

With commercial floors completed, the team has now begun construction on the residential portion of the tower. Developed by Kairoi, the residential space will contain 349 for-rent apartment homes with luxury finishes and 360-degree views.
