With this being a 450 room hotel, it'll be at least 300 feet or more. And with it being such a slim tower, I'm betting the view of One American Center from the east is safe, particularly from the southeast.
I'm wondering if 450 rooms is a misprint by the Austin Business Journal. I don't see how they could possibly build a 450 room hotel on a lot size that is 0.2535 acres. I could see a 45-room boutique hotel, though.

There was an earlier post about this in the archived thread.

Here's a photo I took of the parking lot a few years ago that I uploaded on Wikimedia.
