Yeah, this really needs some retail. I hope whatever gets built at the post office site across the street is wrapped with retail on all sides. I really don't mind the design. It's too bad it couldn't be taller, but the design isn't bad. I do like the contrast between what I guess is limestone and the almost smokey glass.

This is the construction site for the JW Marriott Convention Hotel. It'll be 408 feet tall with 34 floors and will have 1012 rooms. It'll be the largest JW Marriott in the world and the largest hotel in Austin. It officially broke ground this week.
