Loving this angle of the tower seen from 3rd street

Nice shot. I wonder if the tourists on the double decker bus were impressed?

My only gripe about this building is the boxy base. If they continued the entire shape of the tower on all sides, this thing would be perfect.

I imagine it's because parking garages are like hotels in the respect that it's easier to build the exact same floor all the way up, because "form follows function" is less expensive.

View of the cranes from BEPI Park Troll and if you did not know BEPI (Baylor, Enfield, Parkway Intersection) Park is the tiniest city park in Austin. Make sure to see the BEPI Park Troll before spring is over where it's going to be dismantled and reinstalled as part of a permanent installation in New York’s Guggenheim Museum.
