AUSTIN | Austin Planetarium & Residential Tower | 655 FT | 47 FLOORS
This is crazy. It would be the tallest building north of the Capitol and at 655 feet, would be our 2nd tallest. There has been a planetarium in the works for a while, but this is the first mention of an adjoining tower.

Austin Planetarium moves forward with development
AUSTIN -- The Austin Planetarium is moving forward with their plan to build the largest planetarium in Texas. The nonprofit has submitted a proposal to the Texas Facilities Commission to build the planetarium on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Congress Avenue, where there is currently a state parking lot.
The proposed 157,000 square foot facility will include the planetarium, an interactive science museum and a technology center showcasing Texas innovations.
However, the facility will include more than just a museum and planetarium. A 47 story residential tower, restaurants, retail space and more than 1,000 underground parking spaces are also part of the proposal.
