This is the first luxury residential tower to claim this stretch of downtown, where the State Capitol, the University of Texas, and the city's Arts District all sit within easy walking distance. Step off the elevator and the building announces itself immediately: travertine floors, concealed lighting, and a curated gallery of commissioned art turn the common spaces into something closer to a museum than a lobby. It's the kind of building people point at from the street and now, one you could actually call home. Among The Linden's seven floor plans, No. 1404 stands apart for one simple reason: the kitchen. Its own listing materials call it the largest of its type in the tower, and one look tells you why. A full set of German-engineered Bosch appliances sits inside custom cabinetry with the clean lines Rhode Partners carried throughout the building. A gallery-quality backdrop built to let the art, and the cook, take center stage.
