2 cranes down, one more to go. We should be seeing a crane-free downtown shortly. Not saying it's a bad or good thing though.

Very nice. Especially those first ones. It looks so blue there, and then in other views seems very gray.

Nice. In some of the photos and from some angles, it looks like something one would see in Honolulu or another city with a heavy Asian influence.

Construction Elevators gone

Looks like the exterior mounted construction elevators are gone and they are closing-in each floor.

they are really going crazy downtown. I guess the frost bank used to be a travesty. now it seems like the frost bank is leaving the picture in terms of high rise. I wish i was still there to work on the buildings. I moved my Denver HVAC company out here to colorado so...

Sadly Austin has now surpassed San Antonio,my home, as #3 skyline in Texas.

Actually, I think Fort Worth would be fourth (now) behind Austin and ahead of San Antonio.

They could maybe have a 2 large dog or 3-cat/small dog limit...

The hotel opens in 9 days, the first condos in 2 weeks. It's an exciting time.

The ironic part is right after I move in I am headed to Beijing for 8 weeks for an assignment. So it's just going to be a taste.

Not really feeling this tower. The bottom half looks great but the top looks almost unfinished. Kind of reminds me of communist projects, but with a glass facade. That's just my opinion as apparently everyone seems to like it
