The Independent

The Independent is Austin’s tallest residential tower and the most recognizable building on the skyline — instantly identifiable by its offset “Jenga” silhouette. At 58 stories with 363 units, it’s also the largest single luxury condo inventory in the city.

Amenities

The Independent features two pools (a heated lap pool and a resort-style leisure pool), a private theater, full fitness center, owners’ lounge, business center, dog park and grooming station, guest suites, and 24/7 concierge. The amenity floor wraps the building’s offset at the 9th floor and is one of the most extensive packages in Austin.

Floor plans & views

Floor plans range from one-bedrooms around 800 square feet up to penthouses approaching 4,000 square feet. North-facing units capture the Capitol view; south-facing units look across Lady Bird Lake to the Hill Country. Upper floors above the offset (10th floor and up) command meaningful premiums for unobstructed sight lines.

What to know before buying

The Independent’s HOA is one of the largest in Austin by dollar volume, which keeps reserves healthy but also means dues are not insignificant. View orientation, floor level (above or below the 9th-floor offset), and exposure direction all materially affect resale value. We walk buyers through current comp data and HOA financials before tour.
