History
The San Jacinto Center's office tower and hotel component opened on January 14, 1987, with a ribbon cutting ceremony heralded by Austin mayor Frank C. Cooksey and Four Seasons Hotels founder Isadore Sharp.[2] There was originally supposed to be twin office towers; the eastern office building was canceled during the economic downturn of the early 1990s.[3] In 1996, a Houston-based firm planned to buy the parcel of the unbuilt tower. Two San Jacinto Center was to be built to the exact specifications of the existing office tower as originally planned, however, plans fell through and the tower was never built. In 2000, a residential tower was planned for the site of the unbuilt twin tower, but the plans were eventually shelved.[4]
In 2007, construction commenced on the Four Seasons Residences, the 166-unit condominium component of the complex, the second such proposal for a residential tower at the site. Designed by architect Michael Graves, the postmodern tower opened in 2010 and features a brick and glass facade with a rooftop pool and amenity deck.[4]
