These tenants will have incredible views!

Yeah, I mean those roofs are over 400 feet above the street, and this thing will tower almost 300 feet higher than they do.

I remember leaning over the edge on the main roof of the Austonian looking down on 100 Congress - which is about 300 feet below. It was a strange feeling seeing it that far down, even a bit disorienting seeing such a strange view of it. 100 Congress was Austin's 4th tallest from 1987 to 2002. That building now is our 28th tallest.

Here are two of the better videos I've seen of this morning's Block 71 implosion. The first one is from a drone, and the second one was taken from in front of the Congress Ave. Aloft.

Good riddance, that building was ugly as sin. What are they putting in its place?

KevinFromTexas Mar 26, 2018 5:56 PM

EDIT: Site plan now indicates the Block 71 office tower will be slightly reduced from 555 feet to 542 feet. The number of floors and design remain the same. The FAA had reviewed this project and had some concern about the height. Seriously, FAA, 13 feet? Put your wheels up. haha

That's amazing. At the rate Austin's skyline is growing, it could become Texas' premier skyline. To me, it's already the best looking in the state, and one of the best in the country when you look at it from various angles.
