The Austonian
The Austonian set the bar for full-service luxury condo living in Austin when it opened in 2010, and a decade and a half later it remains the city’s reference point for five-star residential service. The building’s combination of large floor plans, hotel-style staffing, and downtown’s most established luxury condo address keeps demand consistent through every market cycle.

Amenities & service
The Austonian’s amenity floor includes a heated lap pool, full fitness center with private trainers available, screening room, conference rooms, owners’ lounge, wine cellar, and guest suites. Service includes 24/7 concierge, valet, doormen, and on-site building management — the closest experience to hotel living available in Austin condos.
Floor plans & views
Floor plans start around 1,200 square feet and extend to full-floor penthouses over 6,000 square feet. The building’s location on Congress Avenue means south-facing units overlook Lady Bird Lake and the Hill Country; north-facing units have direct Capitol views.
What to know before buying
The Austonian’s HOA structure includes a meaningful service component, which keeps dues higher than peer buildings but funds the staffing model. Resale velocity has historically been the strongest in the downtown luxury tier, and off-market trades are common at the upper price points.
