The Starr Building on Sixth just west of Congress is up for sale. The building is owned by the State of Texas. It is zoned CBD and it outside of the Capitol View Corridor, so height is unrestricted for the lot. There is no set price, so submit your best offer to the General Land Office. When it was built in 1955, the five story, 76,375 square foot Starr Building was the first major example of modernist architecture in Austin (and the first building in Austin with an escalator). The lobby hosts a mural by Seymour Fogel. Attempts are being made to save the mural, but it is unclear if they will be successful.
