Commercial Architecture: The Modern building tour

The Modern – Building Tour

The Modern is a new residential tower in the Rainey Street District, contributing to Austin’s growth as a dense walkable urban environment by adding 320 homes (including 20 affordable units) within walking distance of the Central Business District, Lady Bird Lake, and the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail. The project is a collaboration between design architect Nelsen Partners and executive architect Page.

The Modern includes 788,000 square feet over 56 stories, including a parking podium, two levels of residential amenities and outdoor space, a floor of office space, and residential rooftop terraces. The tower also includes a ground-level bar / café and a basement-level club, replacing the two bars previously on the site and maintaining Rainey Street’s nightlife and rich pedestrian environment.
