Description
Luxury penthouse living on the 30th floor of 5FiftyFive in the heart of downtown Austin. One of the largest floor plans in the building, this expansive residence spans 3,638 square feet with soaring 14-foot ceilings, offering a rare sense of scale rarely found in high-rise living. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap nearly every room, capturing sweeping panoramic views of downtown Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and the surrounding skyline. A coveted western exposure floods the home with natural light throughout the day and delivers breathtaking sunset views each evening—among the most dramatic and unobstructed in the city. The thoughtfully designed layout features three spacious bedrooms and a dedicated office. Designed for elevated entertaining, the open-concept living and dining areas flow seamlessly appointed with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, including a 6-burner gas range, double ovens, and a full-size Sub-Zero refrigerator. A built-in wet bar with wine refrigerator, laundry room, and refined finishes are hallmarks of this penthouse. Residents of this luxury penthouse sit at the center of four projects reshaping downtown Austin: Old Sixth Street is being reimagined as a pedestrian-first entertainment corridor — wider sidewalks, less traffic, more of the music and dining culture that defines Austin, The Convention Center is getting a $1.6B ground-up rebuild opening in 2029, bringing a bold new urban hub to the neighborhood, I-35 Cap & Stitch will lower the highway, remove the upper decks, and reconnect East and West Austin with new pedestrian bridges and 19+ miles of trails, Waller Creek / Waterloo Greenway delivers 13 acres of new creekside parkland and trails between 4th Street and Lady Bird Lake — opening June 2026. Living at 555 E. 5th, you don't just watch Austin's future unfold. You live it. A rare opportunity to own a premier penthouse combining iconic views, generous square footage, and true luxury living. 2 parking spots and storage unit included.
