This project has a couple things going for it. One being that it's mostly residential, and two a bank owns the site and is taking the office space. Hopefully BBVA/PNC is providing financing as well.

The BBVA branding won't stay because all BBVA branches are scheduled to be re-branded as PNC branches by mid-2021. But maybe they'll put a PNC sign on top.

I don't know why, but BBVA is one of the few corporate logos that I like to see on buildings. I'm weirdly annoyed that they'll be replaces 😂

If BBVA was providing all or part of the construction equity, then we may not hear anything until the merger with PNC is complete. Just a guess.

I really love this tower. It would look outstanding in the Austin skyline.

I think it would be great if the latest renderings could be placed in the original post so that we don't have to go digging for them in each thread.

Would that be possible?

Done. I added these two.

Man, this thing will look good next to 6xGuad if it happens. And keep in mind that this is right next to the post office block, which could also go tall. And Republic.

Love that our downtown will have a few "hills" or clusters of skyscrapers spread out - this area, Rainey Street, and possibly the conventoin center/railyard area.

Good point. I cannot think of anything else positive about this project. There haven't been any updates to the site plan application since last July.

Yeah, that is concerning. Hopefully it wakes back up.

Downgrade. Losing the curve on the SW corner eliminates anything that was interesting about the design. Interestingly, the source still shows the designs we've seen before too. Hopefully this is the old one.

Ooof! This went from semi-interesting to a featureless glass box.

BBVA is cheaping out on the design.

At least it won't be without company north of 700' with 6X and now the Republic. Independent and Austonian are just shy of 700' themselves. Not to mention the supertall and any other proposals that will inevitably come out with how Austin is growing. This one will just blend in - 774' filler.

Don't forget 5C!

In that view alone we'll have 4 towers over 700 ft completed by, say, 2025.
