About The Independent
The Independent is a 58-story condominium tower at 301 West Avenue in downtown Austin, completed in 2019. At 690 feet, it is the tallest building in Austin and the tallest residential tower in Texas. Known colloquially as the “Jenga Tower” for its distinctive cantilevered design where the 34th floor extends beyond lower levels, the building contains 370 units across one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and penthouse configurations. It was developed by Aspen Heights and Constructive Ventures and designed by Rhode Partners.

Reserve health
Reserve health hasn’t been verified for The Independent yet. Before you approve a budget, pay a special assessment, or close on a unit here, Texas law defines exactly what reserve records a condo must keep and what owners can request — see Texas condo reserve funding rules.
The building is relatively new (completed 2019), so the first round of major reserve-funded maintenance is still years out. Buyers should still verify the reserve study and current funding level.
What’s still missing
- Reserve study date and balance
