I LOVE the first one! The layers of the style and height of building…. especially how it moves from down left to upper right…. its really a nice composition. You even manage to get a tough of green into it!!!!!

Colorado Tower mostly won't show up there, only the very corner of it will behind the Frost Bank Tower.



That little cluster around the JW Marriott is pretty intense. If you look, even The Catherine showed up here.

Any new pics? I haven't made it downtown and the webcam quit working for me on this computer.

Webcam is still up. From today:

Thanks. Not too much has changed the last couple of month. Odd what they're doing with the white/gray/black squares. It's probably just underlayment, but it's funny how they randomly place each new layer. I wonder how much longer till that lift on the side of the building will be there.

Smitlua's webcam picture shows the Austonian's pool area, which seems to be completely blocked from the western sun by the building itself. Seems like that would kind of suck since the height of the building must block out all of the sun after about 1 in the afternoon, and the Marriott is going to block out most of the morning sun as well. I guess you have to work on your tan around noon at the Austonian.

I was working out of a Regus conference room last spring at 100 Congress, directly facing the Austonian.

About 11am some guy came out onto his SE balcony with a bong and a very nice looking naked girl.

And that's when I began to question my corporate lifestyle...

One has to own the corporation to fully appreciate the corporate lifestyle.

I wonder whether the girl had on sun screen?

No. I offered to rub in on her, but she said she didn't burn easy.

Pic of JW Marriott I took this afternoon, shaping up nicely!

I really like the glass on the Marriott; there aren't any balconies or concrete windows, so it's as clear as a lake. I always see the San Jac building's reflection on it when I'm driving South on the upper deck .

[corvairkeith]

They started taking the construction elevator on the South side of the building down today. We should see the glass finished soon.
