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.

Winter 2023 Development Pipeline Takeaways

  • 11 projects totaling approximately 3.85 million square feet were delivered to the market in 2023.
  • There are currently 16 projects under construction, totaling approximately 7.2 million square feet.
  • Hotel occupancy rates reflect a robust resurgence of travel, events, conventions, and the nightlife economy.
  • The number of new projects kicking off downtown has slowed as economic uncertainty remains in the market.
  • 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.
