Westgate Tower, High-rise residential tower near Texas State Capitol, Austin, United States.
The 26-story Westgate Tower stands at 261 feet tall, featuring reinforced concrete construction with brown brick exterior and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the structure.
Built in 1966 as Austin's first residential high-rise, the tower sparked discussions that led to the establishment of protected Capitol View Corridors regulations.
The building housed the Headliners' Club on its twenty-fourth floor from 1966 to 1975, gathering Texas politicians and academics for social functions.
The tower includes a rooftop swimming pool, 24-hour concierge service, controlled-access parking, and an on-site maintenance team for residents.
Former President Lyndon B. Johnson and Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst selected this building as their residence during their political careers.
