According to the ABJ, this is another Tishman-Speyer project.

New York-based Tishman Speyer Properties LP is "actively exploring the potential acquisition and redevelopment" of the property, a company spokesperson confirmed. If it moves forward, the project would be the third major investment in Austin for Tishman, which operates in 30 markets across the world and manages a multibillion-dollar portfolio.

South Congress Tower Plan Adds Height, Housing, and Rooftop Beekeeping

A planned unit development proposed by New York-based real estate firm Tishman Speyer Properties would raise a 400-foot tower atop a 0.8-acre assembly of adjacent properties currently containing a tire shop and nail salon on South Congress Avenue. The plan for the site, spanning 311 to 315 South Congress Avenue, was previously described in local reports earlier this year as a 330-foot office tower with ground-level retail space — but the developers have now modified the PUD to instead propose a building that’s 70 feet taller, containing approximately 450 residential units, 7,500 square feet of ground-level commercial use, and up to 30,000 square feet of offices.

Nice project!

A 400 footer in that spot is going to be pretty prominent. I’m interested to see if we continue to get similar sized towers throughout the rest of South Shore (minus the Statesman site.)

This one goes before the city council on 11/15.

This project got a height bump to 480' from 400' based on new info added to the PUD filing today. It'll have 485 apartments on a site that is currently a tire store.
