AMOA & Museum Tower

From Urban Austin

Houston-based Hines Interests, LP and The Austin Museum of Art (AMoA) are planning on the development of a new AMoA and office tower on the block due south of Republic Square in downtown Austin (bounded by 3rd, 4th, San Antonio & Guadalupe Streets). Dubbed, Museum Tower, the complex will house the 3-story, 40,000 SF new home of AMoA (expandable to 80,000 SF) and a 30-story, 425,000 SF office tower. Designing the project will be the New Haven, CT-based, internationally renowned architecture firm of Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects.

The developers are going to seek LEED certification for this project. Groundbreaking is expected in 2009.
