Its website lists studio, 1- and 2-bedroom homes plus 3-bedroom penthouses, and a Walk Score of 99.

Its website places the tower at the corner of 5th Street and Lavaca, within walking distance of Lady Bird Lake and blocks from the 6th Street area, and lists a Walk Score of 99.

The building and floor plans

Hanover Republic Square is a 45-story tower with 310 apartment homes. Its website describes open-concept living spaces, chef-style kitchens and spa-style bathrooms, and lists more than two dozen floor plans: studios, 1- and 2-bedroom homes, and 3-bedroom penthouses. Floor-plan pricing did not load on its website on Oct 14, 2026, so I don’t quote a price here.

Pet policy

Its website says pets may be permitted with a monthly pet fee and deposit, charged per pet, with no more than 2 pets per home. Restricted dog breeds include Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Chow Chows, Pit Bull Terriers and mixes of those breeds. A signed animal addendum, vet records including weight, and a photo are required before approval. There is no designated pet relief area, but there is an on-site pet spa.
