The horizontal plane footprint of the building is much more massive looking at it in real life than in the renderings. It has some girth to it.

I wonder when the tower cranes will start coming down?

Nope. One Riverwalk Place was built in the early 1980's and is basically a black glass rectangle. Granted, it's only 18 stories... but still. I think it's a nice looking building that still looks contemporary almost 40 years later (though the recent USAA signage is kinda bad).

She's a beauty from the air! I Flew over downtown yesterday evening coming home from Mexico City and she was beautifully gleaming in the sunset. Stunning!

I was literally thinking that today. I don't think they are using the cranes anymore.

Still using the cranes this morning to lift glass up.

Cool flyover of Alamo Stadium heading toward downtown. (Wish it went further, but still cool.)

When you drive up Flores and see the old Frost next to the new Frost:

Went downtown to check out the Frost today, looks great, but now all I can think is: more glass!! We need more glass!
