What's up with them? I find it hard to believe they were necessary.

Those columns are absolutely necessary. They support the building's flux capacitor.

There are a lot of buildings with that design - typically on the open amenities levels. It seems to be a 2020s design trend.

So, when the building starts flying, will it meet aviation guidelines to land at the airport occasionally?

Please share the photos of downtown San Antonio with all its cranes.

5. All over 500’ tall.

The ATX · #**476** Posted **Apr 11, 2024, 4:58 PM**

The Specific heights for the U/C Rainey towers:

500' River Street Residences (Apts.)
567' Paseo (Apts.)
594' Travis (Apts.)
658' Modern Austin (condos)
1,022' Waterline (Apts., office & hotel)

In addition to those, the 452' Vesper condo tower opened about a week ago.

There is also a proposed ~800' Ritz-Carlton hotel and condo project that looks highly doubtful at this point, and a ~700' condo tower named 62 East that is still going through permitting.
