Like others, I actually am a fan of this rendering. It's not my favorite design by any means, but I think it will make a great addition to Austin's skyline. In the same way that Indeed Tower makes a unique impact from different angles, I think this will too. I also like the darker facade and the fact that I don't believe I've seen a building shape quite like it among other skylines. It's also wild to remember that this building (if it is going to be 723 ft) is taller than the Independent/Austonian, and in a part of DT that could use a taller tower. I'd love to see this move forward.
I'm curious about what type of exterior lighting it might have.

This. East end of downtown needs some pizzaz from the 35 view. I bet they could do something subtle, yet striking with the lighting.
