Austin Completes Construction on Texas' Tallest Tower Ahead of Schedule
DPR Construction has completed Austin's Waterline tower, a 74-story mixed-use building that stands as the tallest in Texas at 1,025 feet. The project was delivered two months ahead of schedule after 48 months of construction and involved over 6,800 workers and 150 trade partners. Spanning more than 2.7 million square feet across three acres, Waterline integrates residential, hotel, office, retail, and parking spaces into one vertical complex. The project's success was attributed to DPR’s self-performing workforce model, which allowed greater control over quality and scheduling. The tower includes sculptural columns, Class AA offices, 352 residential units in the top floors, a 24-story office space with 703,000 square feet, and retail/dining areas totaling 24,000 square feet. Waterline connects to Waterloo Greenway's Confluence park at ground level. The development was co-led by Lincoln Property Company and Kairoi Residential, with design support from KPFArchitect and HKS Inc.
