Also the fact that they sent me the height for it (420 feet) pretty much means it'll happen. Developers clam up on projects that are dead. They like to pretend those proposals never happened since it's embarrassing.

By the way, I am finding a TON of building heights. I've been able to find ones I've been looking for for a long while and make corrections on others. For instance, we have always had conflicting heights given for 360 Condos. The American-Statesman I believe had listed it as 563 feet. But, there were other lists that had it at 581 feet. Even Goldenboot here on the forum always insisted it was 581 feet. I contacted the developer last week to try and get the height. He said he was busy and asked that I contact the architect. They haven't responded, but I've been researching on the city's website looking at site plans for projects. Well, a little while ago I found the height for it. It is in fact 580 feet 11 inches to the spire and 472 feet 6 inches to the mechanical roof below the spire. I'll also be able to measure and calculate the height of the spire. I'll have to update the height list for the front page of this thread eventually. Right now i"m just racing to get these heights before those files disappear since they're already between 4 and 7 years old. They first started the planning process with the city for 360 in August of 2005. Oh, and the original name for the project was "Condos at 3rd & Nueces".
