I guess it's a nice looking building and all, but it looks like it's been shrunk down a lot from the last renderings we saw—the ones posted at the building site, with the double towers—and I thought this new design is a bit of a pitty too, because we kinda have one like that already—the Marriottt a few blocks West of there.
But still, so
vastly much better than yet another ugly open lot down town.
Also, I agree with the spire comment. I know it probably adhears to achitectural rules, but it feels a bit like cheating (to a layperson). How about putting an 700 foot spire on on the Gingerman and calling it the tallest building in Austin.
