Downtown Austin is experiencing a major transformation, centered around the $1.6 billion redevelopment of the Austin Convention Center. This isn’t just a renovation; it’s a complete reimagining of how people gather, celebrate, and connects.
Closed in April 2025, the center is being rebuilt from the ground up. When it reopens in spring 2029, it will offer 620,000 square feet of rentable space—nearly double its previous capacity—designed to host the most dynamic, sustainable, and tech-forward events on the planet.
Designed by LMN Architects and Page, the new vertical facility will set a global standard for innovation. Every detail—from advanced building systems to immersive public art—is designed to enhance the event experience. A record $17.7 million investment in public art guarantees that Austin’s creative spirit shines brightly.
The center also strives to become the world’s first zero-carbon certified convention center, setting a bold new sustainability standard and positioning Austin as a leader in green urban development.
More than just a venue, it’s a community landmark. Outdoor terraces, skyline views, and pedestrian-friendly walkways reconnect the city and invite locals and visitors alike to gather and explore.
Why you want to be here:
- Next-Level Space: Vertical design, flexible layouts, and 70,000 square feet of outdoor venue space
- Sustainable & Stylish: Targeting LEED Platinum certification.
- Authentically Austin: Infused with music, culture, and creativity.
