Experience a unique piece of Austin history in this rarely available residence at the iconic Westgate Tower, ideally positioned along the western edge of the Texas State Capitol grounds. Designed in 1962 by internationally acclaimed architect Edward Durell Stone in collaboration with Austin firm Fehr & Granger, the Westgate opened in 1965 as Austin’s first residential high-rise and remains one of downtown’s most recognizable examples of mid-century modern architecture.
Unit 1004 offers an expansive two-bedroom, two-bath floor plan with generous living and dining spaces, abundant natural light, and impressive views of the Austin skyline. Both the substantial interior footprint and oversized outdoor patio spaces are increasingly rare in today’s newer downtown construction, where residences often favor more compact layouts and limited private outdoor space.
The expansive patios are a true standout, offering ample room for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing while taking in the skyline. This exceptional amount of private outdoor living creates an extension of the residence that is difficult to replicate in newer downtown Austin buildings.
The Westgate’s architectural character is unmistakable, with its distinctive brick exterior, floor-to-ceiling windows, decorative masonry screens, and design centered around expansive views of the Capitol grounds and city. Over the decades, the building has been home to state leaders, business executives, and prominent Austinites, giving it a unique place in the history and development of downtown Austin.
Residents enjoy the convenience of valet service, a fitness center, swimming pool, and an established lock-and-leave lifestyle just moments from the Capitol, the University of Texas, museums, restaurants, entertainment, and everything downtown Austin has to offer.
With its generous square footage, rare oversized patios, architectural significance, and premier location, Unit 1004 offers a combination of space, character, and outdoor living that is increasingly hard to find in downtown Austin.
