So this article reveals a rendering, and two additional ones have been released on the building's website.

This also quotes the developers as saying it'll be 685 feet tall. That height would be two feet taller than The Austonian's height, but we've also heard two other rumored heights of 675 and 694 feet, and some are speculating the heights released so far don't include the mechanical penthouse and screen.

Seaholm area’s rebirth to include Austin’s tallest tower

Posted: 6:16 p.m. Sunday, April 12, 2015

By Lori Hawkins and Shonda Novak - American-Statesman Staff

A dramatic change is in store for Austin’s skyline, as plans move forward on what now has become a 58-story tower that would be the city’s tallest building and the largest residential tower west of the Mississippi River.

The tower, named the Independent, would rise 685 feet on downtown’s southwestern edge, eclipsing the Austonian condominium high-rise in downtown Austin by two feet and two stories.

The Independent would bring 370 new luxury condominiums to market, priced from the mid-$300,000s to more than $3 million, the developer told the American-Statesman. The project features a contemporary, tiered design by its architect, Austin-based Rhodeartners.

The developers planning the project — Austin-based firms Constructive Ventures and Aspen Heights — said they expect to announce a groundbreaking date and construction timeline within a few months, once financing is lined up.
