This one was first rumored a few weeks back, but it's official now. The article says the elevations show it to be 504 feet tall with 47 floors.

At 504 feet tall, it would be Austin's 4th tallest with the city's 3rd highest roof height.

Exclusive: 47-Story Residential & Hotel Tower Planned for 5th & Brazos

Chicago-Based Magellan Development Group is teaming up with Wanxiang America Real Estate Group to develop a 47-story tower consisting of residential units and a dual-branded hotel. Preliminary elevations show the tower to be 504 feet tall. The dual-branded hotel concept has been gaining popularity around the country lately, and if built today, this would be downtown’s second dual-flag property (the Marriott Courtyard/Residence Inn near the Convention Center was the first).
