AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Standing taller than any current building in Austin, Sixth and Guadalupe has topped out at its final height of 865 feet. This much-anticipated milestone has been two and a half years of a steady vertical climb and was met successfully, even with a backdrop of skilled labor shortages, a pandemic, and market inflation.

Sixth and Guadalupe is owned and managed by Kairoi Residential, Lincoln Property Company, and DivcoWest. Construction is led by JE Dunn Construction and designed by Gensler.

"To accomplish the top out of Sixth is big for this team and for me personally," said Steve Welton, Vice President, and Project Executive for JE Dunn, and who has been a leader on the project since it was awarded to JE Dunn in late 2017. "This project challenged our team and has truly taught us the meaning of accountability, teamwork, client and design team alignment, and honestly, why we choose to work in construction. I'm so proud of our people."
