We could be talking about a new tallest. Our current convention center hotel is 377 feet tall with 31 floors. This hotel would have 20 more floors plus a spire. It could end up being 550 to 600 feet to the roof and 650 to 700 feet to the spire.
|
Since it's so close to IH35 it will make a big statement when driving through downtown.
|
This is great news for Austin!
|
Holy balls, whats up, theres been an explosion of proposals and what not this past week, this is nuts! A few of these projects should see the light of day, especially this one.
|
This is pretty big news for Austin, WOW! :cheers:

It will be weird if this is built and if its nearly 700ft tall being in the location its in because theres nothing really tall at all or any scrapers in that area of downtown. Theres nothing really after you cross over Waller Creek from the Convention Center, its just parking lots, open land, and suburban like crap along the highway. It will be nice to have an awesome dense scraper in that area of downtown.

That is one nice looking tower. I like the spire too. It looks really good. I likes...
:yes: |
Good call... Honolulu, Miami and I would also say Vancouver represent the aspirational potential of Austin's skyline. It won't be office tower centric like Houston... it won't have the older devleopment of Seattle.
|
I hope it doesnt end up looking like Vancouver or Honolulu, which have imo very ugly skylines filled with ugly condos. So far, Austins condos and such have been looking pretty damn good and lets hope they keep with the quality towers, which it looks like they are. Honolulus problem and Vancouvers is that a lot of the towers went up in the 90s, 80s, and 70s, which wasnt exactly the best time for architecture in history.
