Austin’s skyline is evolving, and 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for luxury condo living. From sleek high-rises to thoughtfully integrated green spaces, here’s a curated look at the standout developments redefining downtown living
If you’ve driven past Rainey Street recently and noticed a sleek new tower rising against the skyline—it’s probably The Modern. And true to its name, this 56-story high-rise is reimagining what luxury urban living in Austin looks (and feels) like.
Set at 610 Davis Street, just steps from the energy of Rainey and the serenity of Lady Bird Lake, The Modern hits that rare sweet spot: central, connected, and still refreshingly residential. With 319 residences ranging from efficient one-bedrooms to sprawling penthouses over 6,000 square feet, there's a floorplan for every kind of lifestyle—whether you’re downsizing with intention or stretching out with skyline views.
This isn’t just another checklist of condo amenities—it’s an experience built around both productivity and pleasure:
Indoor + Outdoor Lounges – beautifully designed gathering spaces with major wow factor.
Private Sky Lounges & Dining Rooms – perfect for hosting without the cleanup.
Fitness Center + Yoga, Pilates & Barre Studio – no excuses when it's this convenient and pretty.
Board Rooms + Business Center – for your Zoom calls that deserve a better backdrop.
Guest Suites – so friends and family can visit without invading your personal space.
25-Meter Pool + Spa – whether you’re doing laps or lounging, this one is a stunner.
Dog Lounge – because downtown pups deserve luxury, too.
Designed by internationally acclaimed architecture firm Page, The Modern is all clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, and timeless materials. Think: a soft, neutral palette that lets the views (and your own personal style) take center stage. Every detail—from lobby finishes to smart home features—feels curated yet livable.
This is the kind of building where design, location, and lifestyle all come together. You’re close to the trail, surrounded by nightlife, and cushioned by quiet, elevated interiors that feel like a true retreat.
Austin’s skyline is getting a game-changing addition with the rise of Waterline—an awe-inspiring, 74-story super-tall building that promises to be the tallest in Texas once completed. Standing at a towering 1,022 feet, Waterline will bring new levels of luxury living, office space, and hospitality to the city, with sweeping views of Lady Bird Lake, downtown, and beyond.
Located at 98 Red River Street, right along the banks of the lake, Waterline isn’t just a condo—it’s a complete reimagining of what living in Austin’s city center can feel like. And, with its proximity to the iconic hike-and-bike trail, you’ll have easy access to outdoor adventures that make Austin feel like home.
Waterline is more than a condo—it’s a mixed-use marvel that combines luxury residences with office space and retail outlets, all anchored by the highly anticipated 1 Hotel, a renowned eco-conscious brand. It’s where luxury meets sustainability, and sleek design meets functional living.
The building’s residences are designed for those who appreciate the finer things in life—whether you’re looking for a penthouse with expansive views or a modern urban retreat with cutting-edge smart home features.
Waterline brings a host of exclusive amenities that elevate every part of your day:
Wellness-focused spaces designed to keep you at your best, including a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa.
Indoor and outdoor pools perfect for year-round relaxation, with unobstructed views of the water and skyline.
Private lounges and entertainment areas to host friends or wind down after a busy workday.
Business center + meeting spaces that provide the perfect backdrop for productivity.
1 Hotel integration, bringing top-tier hospitality to your door, with concierge services, in-house dining, and curated experiences.
Direct access to the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail—you can step out your door and enjoy nature with a jog or bike ride along Austin's most iconic trail.
With its sleek glass façade, Waterline is designed to be as breathtaking on the outside as it is on the inside. Each unit features expansive windows to take advantage of the unbeatable views, with modern interiors that blend luxury and simplicity. Think: minimalist lines, natural materials, and interiors that are anything but ordinary.
But what really sets Waterline apart is its commitment to creating a true community. It’s not just about high-end finishes and perfect views—it’s about living in a space that feels balanced, connected, and undeniably Austin.
