The Independent, nicknamed the “Jenga Tower” for its distinctive, offset block design, is a 58-story, 685-foot-tall luxury high rise. As one of Austin’s most recognizable buildings, this 363-unit multifamily project combines impressive architecture with high standards of resident comfort.

As with any high-end residential development, the project demanded building systems that would match the structure’s bold design while also offering strong performance, reliability, and efficiency.

To deliver on these requirements, the project leveraged the durability, flexibility, and longevity of Uponor AquaPEX® and ProPEX® fittings for the domestic water main piping, midstory risers, and in-unit plumbing systems.

The flexibility and ease of installation of the Uponor system, combined with the support of Uponor and Pepco sales teams, maximized jobsite efficiencies for the contractors while the corrosion resistance of the product provided a trusted plumbing solution for the residents.

By integrating AquaPEX and ProPEX throughout the building—from the main water distribution to each individual unit fixture—The Independent benefits from a plumbing infrastructure designed to perform flawlessly for decades, aligning perfectly with the tower’s reputation for quality and innovation.
