I really doubt this is the final design for these buildings. They have put out many renderings so far and now that they have a big investment firm, I'm sure we'll see something better in time. But yes, the design is very odd looking and not in a good way. This is as prominent of a location as there is downtown and it would be nice to have something great to welcome people as they approach Austin's downtown from the south.

With that being said, the Fairmont is gorgeous and i truly can't wait for it to start.
