At 562’ in height, the Travis is Austin’s tallest single-purpose apartment tower. Located at the southern end of Red River St, the tower sits at the cusp between the fabric of downtown Austin and the park trails lining the Colorado River. This gives the resort style amenity deck on level 8, and the 423 tower residents above, uninterrupted views across the S Congress Ave bridge and down the center of the Colorado river as it flows past downtown. Where the tower meets the banks of the river, it addresses the active trails along its edge with an art gallery and studio, bicycle storage and maintenance areas, and a small 600 sf coffee shop. From there a monumental stair rises from the trail system to tie it into the city’s sidewalk network above.
