Interesting. I first found out about that project many, many years ago. Probably 2002 or so I would think. We happened to be driving past the site and saw the sign/rendering up and I snapped a few photos of it.
I've also seen the site plans for it that were filed with the city. The elevations show it to be 140 feet to the spire, 127 feet to the mechanical penthouse, 103 feet to the main roof, and 89 feet to the top floor. It'll have 8 floors. The address is 1303 San Antonio Street. The site is occupied by a commercial business in a house and a small parking lot. Height wise it's basically the same as what's there now. There are three buildings to the south that are 120 to 135 feet tall.
I had thought long ago that that project was dead.
