I get a lot from that pic from that angle. A) Yahoo! Crane up, smallish footprint, huge elevator shaft, B) Google tower creates a building blob instead of nice density with distinct separation, C) the Aloft / Element looks like shit, it looks unfinished D) at least it adds some height north and extends the skyline, E) the Mexican CC is extraordinarily underwhelming, F) we need the height the Independent will bring to that western sector, G) Austin with the hills in the background and the river running through it is beautiful, H) this building will be more impressive than the Fairmont looking from northbound I35, I) because its worth repeating, Aloft / Element looks like shit. J) thank God for the Austonian, otherwise the skyline would look plateaued out. There's a lot of wasted vertical space opportunities.
