A few facts.

At 830 feet with 70 floors, it would be the 6th tallest building in Texas.

Taller buildings would be:

Houston - JPMorgan Chase Tower - 1,002 feet - 75 floors - 1982
Houston - Wells Fargo Plaza - 992 feet - 70 floors - 1983
Dallas - Bank of America Plaza - 921 feet - 72 floors - 1985
Houston - Williams Tower - 901 feet - 64 floors - 1983
Dallas - Renaissance Tower - 886 feet - 56 floors - 1974 (176 foot spire added in 1987).
Austin - T. Stacy Tower - 830 feet - 70 floors - ????

It would also only be the 4th building in Texas to have 70 or more floors. Williams Tower has 64, and the Renaissance Tower has 56. Comerica Bank Center in Dallas has 60, while Fountain Place, also in Dallas, has 62.

If it is indeed built, Texas will be the first state to have at least three cities with buildings of at least 800 feet tall.

Only two other states have two cities with buildings 800 feet or more. They are:

California with Los Angeles (1,018 feet) and San Francisco (853 feet).
Pennsylvania with Philadelphia (975 feet) and Pittsburgh (841 feet).

At the moment, there are only 25 buildings in the US that have 70 or more floors, including 8 that are under construction in New York, Chicago and Miami.
