I'm a little less optimistic about this now that the cladding is going up. Does Austin really need any more brown stucco buildings downtown? Hopefully the glass on the North East corner will help a little,I took this pic last week.
Although between this and the Whitley Printing Tower we are getting quite a street wall on the West side of San Jacinto.
Here's a shot I took yesterday of the North West corner.
And from the West with the Whitley Tower on the left.
