About the State of Downtown Report
Downtown Austin is one the most dynamic urban cores in the world and is a vital anchor to our region. Home to world-renowned events, a hotbed for real estate development and innovation and the center for social activity and civic engagement, downtown Austin has sustained its vitality over the past three decades.
Our annual State of Downtown report is a market snapshot illustrating the central role downtown plays as Austin’s economic, governmental and cultural center. This report provides benchmark data behind Austin’s most important economic sectors, including real estate development, office and employment statistics, residential analysis, tourism, safety, parks and placemaking, homelessness, mobility and sharing the Downtown Austin Alliance’s priorities for the next five years.
How to get here:
The event will be held at Fareground in downtown Austin located at 111 Congress Ave., Austin, TX 78701. We encourage you to use alternative modes of transportation to get to the event. Walk, bike, carpool or take transit if you can! Click here to plan your trip with CapMetro.
