Just to clarify re: Magellan...this is a quote from an article published on August 23:
Quote:
"We're really excited about Austin," Carlins said. "We've been looking at Austin, as a lot of people have for awhile, and were just waiting for the right opportunity and the right partnership."
Carlins emphasized that plans are in the early stages. Chicago-based bKL Architecture is working on conceptual drawings for the project, which Magellan is not yet releasing.
Pending city approvals, the soonest the project might be expected to break ground is mid- to late 2014, Carlins said. The tower would take about two years to complete, he said.

As for the tower at 5th & West, color me excited. Going to add great density. I don't know how much it will add to skyline shots from south of the river. Won't it be mostly blocked by Bowie, Seaholm, GWTP and ECC from different angles?
