360 Condominiums, Residential skyscraper in Downtown Austin, United States
360 Condominiums is a 44-story residential skyscraper at 360 Nueces Street in Downtown Austin, rising 581 feet (177 meters). It has a pronounced setback at the 16th floor to avoid obstructing a Capitol View Corridor, and its terrace sits 174 feet (53 meters) above ground.
Proposed in 2006 as a 520-foot, 40-story tower, the building grew taller during planning to add units. Construction began on June 20, 2006, and the spire was fixed in place on November 20, 2007, making it taller than the Frost Bank Tower. It opened on May 22, 2008, and was Austin's tallest building until The Austonian surpassed it on June 29, 2009.
The building was designed to respect sightlines to the Texas State Capitol, an important landmark in the city's visual identity. This consideration for the urban landscape reflects how the architecture integrates with local values and the city's character.
Residents have access to amenities like a 70-foot (21-meter) swimming pool and fitness facilities on a terrace located roughly 174 feet (53 meters) above ground. Retail space at street level makes shops and dining options convenient for both residents and visitors.
The name partly comes from the 360-degree view over Downtown Austin the tower offers. Its spire was assembled starting November 14, 2007, and fixed in place six days later, which made the building taller than the Frost Bank Tower.
