You have better eyes than me. I just can not see the slight curve in The Travis. I know it is "there;" I just haven't seen it clearly in any of the photos yet.

Hopefully there's at least a bit of communication between the Travis and the Waterline so that gap between them ends up looking nice. AFAIK, the lobby entrance for the Travis is planned for the northeast corner of the building, and that side is going to be some sort of side entrance for the Waterline. But hopefully it's landscaped and graded somewhat nicely and doesn't just have a retaining wall or fence between them....

I have to imagine that would be a great spot to provide quite a bit of access to town lake trail (which may have always been the plan).

At least with whatever they are doing with the top will hide the core. Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t stand it when the core sticks way up on top of a building. I get it’s necessary for roof access and elevator mechanics, but at least make an attempt to hide it.

I had ND filters on my drone but I don't have a phone editing software installed.

Why is that shot all of a sudden screaming to me “yacht berths”

So what will the final color(s) be for this one? Exterior treatment has been all over the place for a while now.

jake.robs · #**552** Posted **May 22, 2024, 3:44 PM**

I think it's supposed to be that off-white color.

Bblasa · #**553** Posted **May 22, 2024, 5:42 PM**

Off white everywhere except the two large masonry stripes on right which were to be grey- per the original plans of hasn’t changed since…

Here are some older renderings that I found.

The renderings at that link are from when it was a two tower project. It's not really clear (at least to me) which tower is represented in each rendering.

From what I gather and based off location it was an earlier rendering of the Travis tower. While looking at google maps, it seems they had have a design changed. You can see backside parking garage of the original design was sticking out. Now with with the tower being completed, the garage is flushed with the rest of the building.

You can see in the recent picture Gillynova took.

If you look at the architects portfolio the original plan still looks about right for the tower portion

gillynova · #**558** Posted **May 23, 2024, 8:04 PM**

I forgot about that bridge tbh
