Introducing Waterline: Austin’s Tallest and Most Unique Development
Rising from the heart of Austin’s park district, where Lady Bird Lake meets Waller Creek, Waterline stands as the city’s most ambitious mixed-use development yet. At 74 stories, it redefines the skyline while offering a one-of-a-kind blend of luxury living, world-class hospitality, and thoughtful design.
Every detail of this landmark project was crafted with precision—and nowhere is that more evident than in the custom flooring supplied by Hardwood Bargains.
A Premier Collaboration with 1 Hotel and Luxury Residences
Waterline is home to two distinct experiences under one roof: 1 Hotel Austin occupies the lower portion of the tower, while exclusive residential units crown the upper levels. Each space required its own flooring vision—something authentic, natural, and crafted exclusively for this project.
1 Hotel Austin: For every hotel room, Hardwood Bargains created a custom reclaimed sawn-texture European white oak. This bespoke design reflects the hotel’s eco-conscious ethos while bringing warmth, texture, and natural beauty to each guestroom.
Waterline Residences: For the residential units above, we developed a custom wide plank European white oak product, giving homeowners a sense of openness, sophistication, and timeless luxury.
This dual approach not only highlighted the uniqueness of each space but also ensured the building as a whole told a cohesive design story.
Custom-Made Floors for Austin’s Icon
At Hardwood Bargains, we pride ourselves on creating products that are not just installed but truly designed for their environment. For Waterline, our team collaborated closely with builders, architects, and designers to create flooring that balances sustainability, durability, and artistry.
Texture & Finish: The sawn texture of the reclaimed white oak adds depth and character to the hotel rooms, echoing 1 Hotel’s sustainable philosophy.
Scale & Elegance: The expansive, wide planks in the residences amplify natural light and bring a modern yet timeless aesthetic to the living spaces.
Durability: Built to endure, each floor is engineered with stability and longevity in mind, ensuring that this investment remains as iconic decades from now as it is today.
A Testament to Vision and Craftsmanship
Waterline is not just Austin’s tallest tower—it is a symbol of what’s possible when visionary developers partner with true craftspeople. Every square foot of flooring in this project speaks to Hardwood Bargains’ ability to merge sustainability, elegance, and resilience into one unforgettable product.
From the eco-forward hotel experience to the luxurious private residences, our floors help set the tone for the entire development.
