PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: TORRE

RO PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: TORRE

BY CAMERON SALTER, TAHNEE SAUER - Feb 02, 2022

Tucked neatly into the West Campus neighborhood of Austin, the 2020 Nueces residential tower, Torre, offers 18 levels of unmatched variety in student housing. This complex breaks from the traditional apartment unit layout with over 54 unique residential unit floorplans, ranging from studio apartments to six-bedroom townhomes. In addition to the residential units themselves, the building offers community amenities and integrated garage parking.

Within the 275,000 square foot building, UT Austin students can take advantage of the wide range of amenities and unbeatable views of the Austin skyline. The rooftop pool, hot tub and jumbotron encourage residents to get to know one another, relax and perhaps catch the big game. Additionally, residents can hit the gym, take a yoga class, grab some coffee, or utilize one of the reserve-able rooms to study or practice a group presentation. The sky is the limit, both on the rooftop amenity deck, and on the furnished terraces offered.

Want to embrace the private townhome lifestyle with the amenities of a high-rise? Or perhaps amid the action with you and your five closest friends. Maybe something in between the two? The Torre has just the spot for you. Students can choose their preferred style of living – without having to sacrifice!

Whole-home automation is included at Torre. From Bluetooth shower heads, smart thermostats, water heater leak protection, and app-controlled door locks, life just got a little bit sweeter.

The location places residents just steps away from their classes, as well as the best restaurants, shops and  entertainment.

The unique exterior design of Torre grabs your attention, as it’s not your typical rectangular design. The high-rise was expertly planned to offer the most outdoor space possible. Many of the units include large terraces that are fully-furnished, giving residents access to fresh air 24/7. A modern, industrial design is incorporated both inside and out. Torre mastered the art of modern luxury, that still feels comfortable and inviting with floor to ceiling windows in select units, exposed concrete support beams and concrete ceilings.

We’re #ROproud to be the premier builder of Torre. With five student housing projects in West Campus, RO is helping to shape campus life at The University of Texas at Austin. We always enjoy working with our trusted design partner, Rhode Partners, as well as our valued repeat client, Parallel Company. Hard hats off to everyone involved for this impressive project.
