Not likely, though. After 6 X Guadalupe is finished in 2022, we'll have 98 Red River to look forward to beat it. That means that whatever new tallest is built after that will have to be taller than 1,022 feet. At the moment, I'm not sure we'll have anything else that would be. I think the ATX Tower East will probably be around 950 feet, but I could be wrong about that.
Also, I think before Austinites gloat too much about it or before other places feel jealous or maybe worry about their reputations now, nothing has changed. I love every square inch of Texas and one place getting new developments just makes me happy for them. It doesn't have to take away from another place if they do. Sure, Austin is kinda going nuts now, but we have a lot of catching up to do. I don't see it as city versus city. I look at the other cities in Texas as the standard to live up to. And it's not that we're trying to be like them or one up them. It's just the other cities have always been bigger so yeah, we used them as yardsticks. Just don't have a hot head about it.
