I believe the building on the right was (or is) the planned 17-story Andaz Hotel (of the Hyatt brand name). Although, I only count 15 floors in that rendering. I don't know if plans have changed, but it was going to be a hotel. The building on the left is already there. It's the University Park office building that backs up to I-35. I got the height for that building after it was completed. It's 128 feet tall. I would guess the hotel tower is now around 170 feet tall or so.
This page shows the original rendering for it.

FYI
There are 3 visual cranes up in the West Campus area, two are the 15 & 17 or so tall towers of apartments/dorm style living. The third one I have not looked up to see what it is. Also on of the short stack 4-5 story buildings is almost complete around 23-25th streets just west of Guad.
Thirdly, The Gatti's Pizza on MLK and San Antonio is closed, and the lady at Wendy's across the street told me today it will close on Friday. Does anyone know of development for these lots or did they just close due to lack of sales as the lady at Wendy's told me?

Thanks for the help. I was trying to track down what buildings were being built. There were two confirmed highrises (the ones you mentioned) under construction, plus two more that are a little more mysterious. I sent an email to one company who had renderings showing a 15-story tower on their website. They emailed me back yesterday and said they had no such building under construction in Austin.
