The Travis Embraces Two-Tower Design for Massive Project off Rainey Street

Genesis Real Estate Group is moving forward with The Travis, a large-scale residential project at 80 Red River St. in Austin’s Rainey Street district. The development now includes two towers: one with rental apartments and the other with condos, a hotel, and retail space. The project spans 1.2 million square feet, with the second tower reaching 695 feet. The developers aim to draw pedestrians with amenities like a coffee shop, bike storage, and public spaces, though some commissioners expressed concerns about the limited retail and accessibility for the general public. The project is seeking approval for a higher floor-to-area ratio through the Downtown Density Bonus Program, offering affordable housing in exchange.
