So, we never actually got to see the building elevations for this one. The only height that we had to go on was a 207 foot height that came from the site plan showing the layout of the property. That height seemed low to me based on how it appeared on the skyline. After GoogleEarth updated their Austin imagery recently, I was able to measure the building. It's 219 feet to the mechanical penthouse and screen, 210 feet to the main roof parapet and 205 feet to the main roof slab. I'm assuming the 207 foot height they had posted on the layout was for the main roof. The difference in height from that number to what I was able to measure is likely because I measured from the lowest sea level elevation around the perimeter of the building versus what they used which as probably just the average.
