Rendering to Reality: Paseo

Take a closer look at Paseo, a 48-story mixed-use tower rooted in the heart of Austin’s Rainey Street district.

Designed to belong here, Paseo draws from the neighborhood’s Mexican-American heritage through layers of vibrant color, handcrafted details and warm materials that connect the energy of the street with the calm of your space above.

Residences feature open layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, warm wood tones and refined finishes. Quartz countertops, integrated appliances and spa-inspired bathrooms balance function and craftsmanship to create the same spirited, welcoming vibe under the roof as under the sky.

Daydreamer Café, coworking lounges, wellness features and gathering areas are woven throughout Paseo, so your day flows naturally from morning espresso to evening happy hour. ROOST Rainey, a 59-key apartment hotel on floors 14 through 17, offers your out-of-town guests the same experience.

In the heart of Rainey, Paseo reflects Austin’s rhythm inside and out.

Wrapped in warm wood paneling and softly woven light, Amaya offers an intimate vantage point above the energy of Rainey Street.
