I would agree that this is not a "very creative" design. However, it IS different than the other buildings going up or having been proposed.

I actually don't mind "adding to the plateau" in this location. It actually begins to stretch height more north. Austin's height is basically located between Sixth Street and the river.

This tower, if built, will be a nice addition along with the site being marketed at 9th & Brazos (should another to with some height be built on that site).
