Where Fifth & West sits
At a median of $842per square foot, Fifth & West prices below 6 of the downtown luxury towers tracked here and above 3 of them. It is not the most expensive address downtown, and that is part of the appeal: you get a 2018 building with full amenities at a price per foot under the ultra-premium towers like the Austonian and Austin Proper.
Fifth & West also tends to live larger. Its median listing is about 2,009 square feet, bigger than 9 of the comparison buildings, so a buyer often gets more usable space per dollar than the smaller-unit towers. The numbers below show the full picture.

Sold comps at Fifth & West
Sold prices are the single best guide to value, adjusted for floor, line, view, and condition.
Sold and closed-price data is not distributed through the public IDX feed, so it is not published here. As a licensed agent with full MLS access, I can pull the exact sold comps for any line, floor, or building above and walk you through what they mean for value.

Price per square foot is a useful baseline, but it is not destiny. Within any tower, higher floors, corner lines, and unobstructed Capitol or river views command real premiums, while a lower floor facing an adjacent building trades below the average. Comparing buildings, a newer tower, a better amenity package, or larger floor plans can justify a higher or lower number. Use this as a starting point, then ask for a tailored analysis on a specific unit or line.
