360 Condominiums

The 360 Condominiums is a striking skyscraper in downtown Austin, Texas, located on Nueces Street. Rising 44 floors and 177 meters (581 feet), the building holds 430 residences along with generous ground-floor retail space. Construction was completed in 2008, and for a time it was the tallest building in the city before other high-rises surpassed it. Architecturally, the pronounced setback on the sixteenth floor stands out; it was added to keep the sightline to the Capitol clear. Residents and visitors enjoy amenities such as a swimming pool, a sun deck, a movie theater, and a club room on a platform that seems to float high above the ground.
