I am interested in hearing more of what you mean by this comment. Especially, "It will definitely give Austin its own look and character." What are some of the differences from other cities? The skyline really does look great in Austin.
Now if we can get a law limiting the use of stucco on high rises then these new buildings will continue to look good for years to come. The new Hyatt Place is an example of how "ugly" even new stucco can look. Stucco on a high rise just says "I am a very cheap building...I was built to just make money NOT increase the quality of the cityscape."
