One thing I noticed when I was in Austin in March is just how much condo construction is going on.One of the most attractive condo building that is already completed is the 5 Fifty Five, a building of 99 residences ranging from approximately eight hundred to over five thousand square feet. There are just five residences left for sale in the building. This one is a two-bedroom, the last one available on the 31st floor. The 5FiftyFive is above the Hilton Hotel but there is a private, secured entrance and elevators for residents as well as separate parking from hotel guests, access to hotel room service and 24-hour lobby attendant and 24-hour room service available. Residents can also join the Tower health club which includes the eighth floor rooftop pool and hot tub as well as a fitness center and spa treatments available. This unit also has a private rooftop cabana. Details include granite counters, travertine tile, bamboo flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the view. The unit is two stories and includes a large living room with a wall of bookshelves and a dramatic staircase. It is listed at $1.795 million. 09/09/08
