I massively hope this actually happens, but lord knows they pulled the bait and switch with the other site so can we trust them now?

The tallest would be at least 800 feet. The second tallest is probably around the same roof height as the soon-to-be Fairmont across the street, whereas the shortest reminds me of square-ish London City Hall.

As I said in the other threads:

Holy. Shit. They are not fucking around now.
This project's scale relative to literally every other building in Austin is just beyond massive. I'm fine with height, and I'm fine with bulky, but when you combine the two you simply overwhelm everything else in the skyline. It's taller and substantially thicker than the Austonian. I'm not sure what I think about it, but I do know that I'd love the design in Houston or Dallas. In Austin, though, I'm a bit scared.
