6xG does not really look good in the Austin Skyline in my opinion. Tall yes, but not a well designed building from afar Or close up; the ugly screening of the parking facing the Bermond Block. Very Valued Engineered purely for profit for the short term investors.
The Waterline on the other hand meets the street and Waller Creek with open arms. The tower may not be to some folks liking, however, it is very artfully and thoughtfully designed. The balconies of the residential section do not look blank and unfinished as they do on 6xG. One does not even notice they are there. They are hidden behind the white square accent cladding.
The Waterline is Quality...6xG is not.

Agreed - 6xg looks like a jumbled mess. Waterline, even with its three distinct masses, looks like one complete thought from afar.
