The Ashton, Residential skyscraper in Austin, United States.
The Ashton is a 36-story residential tower in downtown Austin with a glass and concrete exterior that rises prominently into the city's skyline. The building features a pool deck on the podium level where residents and guests can enjoy views of the surrounding area.
The building was completed in 2009 during a period of rapid transformation in Austin's downtown. It was part of a wave of high-rise development that reshaped the city's core between 2006 and 2010.
The building reflects early 21st-century residential trends in Texas cities and its modern exterior shapes how people view the skyline. The surrounding public spaces serve as part of daily urban life for residents and visitors passing through.
The building sits in the heart of downtown and is easy to reach on foot. The immediate surroundings offer plenty of shops and restaurants, making it simple to explore the neighborhood.
The building sits only about 15 feet from its neighboring tower, showing how tightly packed downtown Austin's core has become. This close proximity to other high-rises reveals the compact way this part of the city developed.
