Most office floors these days are around 14 feet floor-to-floor. So that would come out to 420 feet. Most condo floor-to-floor heights are 11 to 16 feet, with the high end being the penthouse floors. The Austonian's floors are 11 to 12 feet. They actually alternate from floor to floor. The top 13 floors are residential, which I'm guessing is condos. That should add 156 feet. Then I would add 12 feet for the ground floor and penthouse levels. So that would be 588 feet total without considering the crown. The crown looks like it's about 30 feet tall. So that would bring it to 618 feet. Still, from the rendering it looks taller than that. I was guessing at least 650 and more like 670 feet judging from the other buildings. One American Center is 401 feet. 300 West Sixth is 336 feet, and the Chase Bank Tower is 330 feet, and it easily appears to be double their height.

I'm surprised that the residential top 13 floors don't show any balconies. Maybe they are on the other side of the building in this rendering.....or maybe they are the bottom floors. It looks like those might be balconies. I think it would be unwise to build a building without them. What are your thoughts?
