Trophy tower...? In what universe?

If the color is more green than blue then that will be the only thing going for it.

With those recent renderings it's all the more clear just how horribly flat and boxy that 2 block area will be and the fact that Austin Proper will roughly be the same height is not going to help it stand out at all, in fact I think 3rd & Shoal will detract from Austin Proper's design. It's just all going to blend together like one giant bulky box. The city should really push for better designed towers and more incentive to build taller. It's ridiculous that the majority of these towers are in the 380-480 foot range.

The only consolation is that these buildings will be completely out of view from I35.

Funny observation. Seems to be a lot of people out on the balconies for an office building. There's lounge chairs and everything. Guess those are for the executives who want to work on their tan.
