  • Austin Celebrates a New Skyline with an Iconic Spire Designed by Gensler
    News Release Contact 6 October, 2017 Mary Alice Kaspar o: +1 (512) 963-1096 e: [email protected] AUSTIN CELEBRATES A NEW SKYLINE WITH AN ICONIC SPIRE DESIGNED BY GENSLER With architectural spire complete on Fairmont Austin, skyline is dramatically changed AUSTIN, TX – Austin has an inspiring new skyline and the second tallest tower, thanks to Fairmont Austin reaching its pinnacle. This week, Gensler, architect of the Fairmont Austin, will put the final touches on a special “lighted crown” that will both surround and illuminate the hotel’s signature, 170-foot tall architectural spire. That spire adorns the top of the elegant 452-foot tall, 1,048-room luxury hotel, which is located at 101 Red River Street. All told, the building’s height rises 590 feet. The combination of size and height make it Austin’s largest hotel, and second tallest building. The spire is comprised of galvanized and epoxy-painted cylindrical tube steel, and its 170- foot height is the maximum allowed by the Federal Aviation Administration, according to Gensler. The new crown can be lit any color, or an array of colors, and will begin being programmed with various visual displays this week. As dusk falls, the spire will often be illuminated with calm white lighting, which depending on the occasion, can be scaled from subtle hues to dynamic applications of more than 15 million colors, including “chasing” light displays, where the lights sequentially flash on and off. “The hotel sits at Cesar Chavez and I-35, a key point of entry to downtown Austin. The spire stands atop the building as a beacon, marking that place—welcoming visitors to Austin,” said Pete Chalfant, Gensler’s Project Manager leading this development.
