Yes...You're right. I saw this building last year and really thought it was interesting. However, Pelli's Austin Museum Tower is much less impressive and should be shorter. One George Street, Singapore, is 23 stories and 502' tall; and I have a hard time thinking the proposed Museum Tower will be taller than 450'.
