Seaholm Power Plant, Modern architectural building in downtown Austin, United States
The Seaholm Power Plant features three stories of cast concrete construction with industrial windows and metal lettering on its exterior walls.
Operating from 1951 to 1989, this power station served as Austin's primary source of electrical power before its transformation into a mixed-use development.
The facility's conversion maintains the industrial character while creating spaces for offices, retail establishments, restaurants, and residential units in downtown Austin.
The complex generates approximately 2 million dollars in annual tax revenue and houses 280 residential units along with 143,151 square feet of office space.
Despite being constructed with coal-burning capabilities including underground ash pits, the facility operated exclusively on natural gas throughout its service period.
