That tower at 5th Brazos isn't bad. I do like the base and the tower itself. I'm not sure about the hotel/residential split, though. I think that portion needs some smoothing over. And I'd rather see that lower portion with the white facade and square windows be just like the rest of the facade, but turned vertically instead. That link says 504 feet and 47 floors. That would be our 4th tallest counting 360's spire, but it would be the 3rd highest roof height.

Actually, I rather like San Antonio's
Bank of America Plaza. But yes, this building really does resemble it in some ways.
