Spring, condominium tower in Downtown Austin, United States

Spring is a 43-story, 132 m (433 ft) condominium tower at the west edge of Downtown Austin. Designed by Foad Rafii with Morris Architects as architect of record, it is Austin's first point tower: a slender shaft rising from a wider mid-rise base. The main structure is cast-in-place concrete, with a concrete parking base and a glass atrium lining the tower with windows and balconies.

Construction started in 2007 and finished in 2009, representing a turning point in Downtown Austin's modern development. The project emerged during a period when the city was transforming its urban character with new residential high-rises.

Spring was Austin's first point tower: a slender shaft above a wide mid-rise base, a form new to the city's skyline. Its name and identity come from the project's branding, with graphic design by Pentagram. The tower anchors the west side of the Austin skyline, standing as the westernmost skyscraper in the city.

Spring stands at the west edge of downtown Austin, the furthest west skyscraper in the city, so it anchors the West End skyline. Its amenities, including a pool, spa and grills, are on the 5th-floor deck above the concrete parking base. The tower is a condominium, not a hotel, so the pool and deck are for residents.

The building uses an uncommon ventilation approach where exhaust air moves horizontally through the floor structure rather than rising to the roof. This hidden system enhances efficiency while keeping the roofline clear.
