I keep looking at the renderings of the Waller proposal and I will find the positive to state here...After stating the shortest tower at the corner is truly perplexing. Vertical ribs of an odd color? Odd street interaction for the pedestrian...Huh! Miss match with the other two towers.

Positives: The two taller buildings relate nicely to each other; They appear to have outside balconies, giving them a human scale; The colors will relate to existing buildings in the skyline; The limestone base is very Austin, and will blend with the convention center; The creek side water features seam nice and might add some life to the area.

That's a rap!
