The W Hotel, One American Center, Ashton, Colorado Tower, Frost Bank Tower, The Austonian all show up along there, along with the South Austin Medical Center tower. Even the spire on the Fairmont is visible from a few spots around there at night. I also saw the top of a crane in front of 360 for either Third + Shoal or Austin Proper. Those two should show up there also if the cranes are.

I'm fairly certain that I'll be able to see the Independent from the street in front of my house, at least the crown at any rate, maybe a couple of the upper floors as well. Before they put up that stupid billboard along Ben White, I used to be able to see Dobie Center and the UT tower crown. I can see the crane pop up above it when I head up towards Redd. They will have to raise it higher before too long so if I can see the crane from here, then I think the top will be visible.
