About The Independent
The Independent is a 58-story condominium tower at 301 West Avenue, Austin, TX 78701, next to the Seaholm redevelopment on the west side of downtown Austin. Designed by Rhode Partners and completed in 2019, it has 363 residences. Its offset silhouette has earned it the nickname “Jenga tower.”
The building combines one- through four-bedroom residences with amenity spaces on the 9th and 34th floors. Floor plans, outdoor space and views vary by residence; compare the specific unit rather than assuming every home has the same outlook or finishes.

Living in The Independent
Daily life here centers on the west side of downtown, near Shoal Creek and the Seaholm redevelopment. The Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail along Lady Bird Lake provides a nearby route for walking and cycling. Compare this setting with Rainey Street if you are considering several downtown towers.
The 9th-floor amenity level includes a heated pool, club room, activity room, playground and dog facilities. The 34th-floor level includes fitness and yoga spaces, an owner’s lounge, meeting rooms and a theater. Confirm current access, reservation procedures and any additional charges with building management.
When touring, compare the floor plan, orientation, natural light, balcony and storage—not just floor number. Visit at different times to assess street activity and sound. Check the actual parking spaces, elevator route and loading arrangements for the residence you are considering.
Before making an offer, request the current association documents, budget, reserve information, insurance summary and any assessment notices. Confirm the unit’s monthly dues, what those dues cover, parking and storage rights, pet rules, lease restrictions and move-in requirements. These details can differ by unit or change over time; this guide does not substitute for the current documents.
