Rising a gleaming 56 floors above the coveted intersection of Congress Avenue and Second Street, topped by a glowing crown, is The Austonian. So distinctly different, yet so uniquely Austin, it offers a truly singular lifestyle. The Austonian is a soaring elliptical tower surrounding a mere 188 condominium residences, each exemplary of an efficient, technologically advanced home that offers owners individual choices in contemporary or traditional design. At Second and Congress, The Austonian offers life above it all, yet in the middle of it all. Its calm seclusion contrasts with the thriving business district that surrounds it. Both Second Street and Congress Avenue are already undergoing extensive redevelopment for upscale retail, restaurants and entertainment.
