Austin, TX, USA
Installed Products
Standing tall at 601 W. 2nd St. in Downtown Austin, Texas, Block 185 is an office skyscraper that topped out in July 2021. The 35-floor downtown Austin office tower with a height of 594 feet, it is the fourth tallest tower in Austin and one of the tallest office towers in Texas, reportedly set to be occupied by tech giant Google.
Block 185 brings an instantly iconic sailboat-inspired design to the skyline celebrating Block Austin’s free spirit. The building’s unique design is attributed to its location near Shoal Creek and Lady Bird Lake. On the south side, the tower highlights receding terraces that create an intriguing effect, facing Lady Bird Lake. The western façade, on the other hand, curves away from Shoal Creek, resembling a sailboat.

Block 185 is an example of this.
Legacy Lighting collaborated with ONELUXstudio as the lighting designers for the Block 185 project. They worked with GVA Lighting and used hundreds of STR9-G3-RGBW, STR9-G3-MONO and HL-MONO luminaires to create an eye-catching display on the Austin skyline. GVA Lighting luminaires enhanced the vision by providing impeccable dimming gradations throughout the façade. GVA’s award winning COLOR-AMP technology allowed color changing STR9-RGBW luminaires on the roof to blend perfectly well with monochromatic by allowing full utilization of available power and providing up to 3 times higher lumen output per a particular channel.
With work on it completed this year in 2023, Block 185 has been called “the single most impressive skyscraper design seen in Austin since the debut of the Frost Bank Tower”.
