I guess we could say our capitol makes it unique.... but I'm hoping for a game changer in the coming years.... A tall, iconic, signature tower or even a cool, architecturally significant supension bridge over I-35 or Mopac...
The county owned block just south of Republic Square has no height limitations and it has been discussed the county might do a public/private partnership. If a real tall signature tower were built on that block it would peak up behind the 360 in the above photo.

NYC_Longhorn you stated "architecturally significant supension bridge over I-35 or Mopac...". I am confused with the term "over". What roadway would go "over" I-35 or Mopac?
