Another boring box... can't they at least try to create a more architecturally significant design?

No, this is on a different block. It's the PF Chang's site, 1 block south of the Railyard redevelopment.
I actually had done up a model of this with my Google Earth model, and I had revise it after I realized I didn't do it right. This tower will run the full length of the block. I used the measurements the site plan provided to get the dimensions right for the two halves of the tower. I don't know why I didn't do that before.
Anyway, the yellow towers are the Railyard redevelopment. I scaled them at 650 and 1,000 feet.
The blue one is Block 16.
The red one is the Austin Marriott at Cesar Chavez.
The yellow tower in the background on the right is a 400 foot mock model I did for the Eightfold project just to give an idea of the views.
The yellow tower on the horizon is a 400 foot mock model I did at the Broadmoor site next to one of the old IBM office buildings.
