Real Estate Development
Explore our emerging projects interactive tool
Austin’s skyline is becoming denser and more vibrant. This map reflects real estate development projects recently completed, under construction or being planned in downtown.
The primary source for this information is the City of Austin’s site development permit application database. We may also include information provided by developers or credible news sources. While we will make every effort to keep this resource up to date, the map may not reflect the most recent changes to project plans. If you are on a project team and have updates to the information in our emerging projects map or can help fill in missing images, please email us.

Fall 2024 Development Pipeline Takeaways
- 11 projects totaling approximately 3.85 million square feet were delivered to the market in 2023.
- As of October 2024, the DAA has tracked five properties that have delivered to the market, totaling approximately 1.1 million sq. ft.
- There are currently 14 projects under construction, totaling approximately 7.1 million square feet.
- While new development activity this year has remained stagnant, there is anticipation that 2025 will see a reversal of course and spur new life into new construction.
- Data from Placer.ai shows that downtown visitor activity has reached 95% of pre-pandemic levels. The general acceptance of the hybrid work model has forced developers to rethink bringing new office space to the market, with some projects transitioning to hotel and residential use. We anticipate this trend to continue throughout 2024 and into 2025.
