Ah yeah, they were just from an iPhone and I uploaded to imgur and didn't realize they'd be so big.
I was surprised how many people were walking around, the little park in between the FiveTwo buildings was especially active, I didn't realize a Bennu had moved in. A patisserie is apparently opening on the other side soon. Also I think the quality of much of what has gone in there has been better than in much of Austin, including the Domain. The FiveTwo buildings by Lake Flato are IMO possibly the best-designed mid-rises in the whole city. Excellent materials, I think it will age extremely well.
I agree with you about density, if the city were smart they'd drop any height limitations here and encourage developers to build as much as possible. This will be a transit center and could be so much more.
