What I'd love to see is mixed used density, with as always, some height. I imagine a point tower right near the waterfront that's sort of a balancing focal point with the Austonian. Even if the rest of the towers are 20-40 stories or midrises, I'd like to see a signature tower out of this. Whatever they do, I hope it's interesting. If this land is just divided up into spec office, like 8 or so 5th and Colorado type towers (15-20 stories), I'll be really disappointed.

It'll be VMU. I doubt anything more than 15 stories. There's also that Austin has historically disliked taller structures closer to the waterfront, and although idk if this area is zoned in that way, but I doubt anything tall is gonna get build net to the water.
Personally, I actually like the height requirement stepping back away from the river where they already exist and, if they don't already apply here they should.
