The University of Texas is sitting on the most desirable parcel of land in Austin, known as the Brackenridge tract. 345 acres that includes miles of lake frontage and a golf course.

$500M investment may yield two new downtown towers
Stacy’s company, T. Stacy & Associates Inc., and Walton Street Capital now plan a 500,000-square-foot office and retail tower at 501 Congress that would be slightly taller than the 26-story Bank of America Center building the partnership owns at 515 Congress next door. The group is also plotting a hotel and condo tower at the corner of Brazos and Fifth streets that would rise more than 800 feet, making it by far the tallest building in Austin and the sixth-tallest in Texas.
