Spring, Modern skyscraper in Downtown Austin, United States
Spring is a contemporary residential tower in Downtown Austin with 43 floors housing apartments of various sizes arranged vertically. The structure features expansive glass windows and balconies on each level, offering views across the city.
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.
The tower shapes the downtown area with its slender form rising from a wider base, a design approach inspired by buildings in major cities. Residents and visitors notice how this profile distinguishes it from surrounding structures.
The tower sits at a central location accessible from multiple downtown streets, with multiple floor plans to suit different living needs. Balconies and generous windows allow natural light and outdoor space 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.
