I like it. I'm glad it's not another broadly faced (east/west) building like the W is, otherwise that area of the skyline would have appeared walled off from the south. That would have been made worse considering we're liking going to see a large east/west tower at 308 Guadalupe (the old county courthouse block) on the other side of the W. That curtain wall "spire" on the south side means glass, which will be lit nicely no doubt, and I would definitely expect some accent lighting on that terrace overhanging the main roof. The amenity deck on the podium is also at 124 feet, no doubt higher than the roof of AMLI Downtown across the street, so there will likely be some twinkly patio type lights poking above its roof at night making that area a little more interesting at night. This is going to be a nice tower. Too bad it's not pink, though. Austin definitely has a favorite color.
