There were multiple renderings of the Waterline Phase II project posted in this thread (in 2019 or 2020?). It's not happening anytime soon, but I can repost some renderings if anyone still cares about it.

Here are some of the old renderings of both towers. (page 53 of this forum) I unfortunately wasn't able to find the image sources for these.

Holy sheet! I remember this rendering. So uniform and symmetrical. I know we're getting a super tall, but what a missed opportunity. What's currently going up is just three different buildings stacked on top of each other in the most awkward way possible. Austin: The city of value engineered towers

God I hope so too! That last render angle is my fav for this project. I never noticed how it twists a bit on the resi portion.

Sorry to nag, but the fact that this doesn't have a public observation bar or deck of some kind really bugs me. It touches on a wider issue with dt Austin and how it differs from every other big TX city. We need a place to bring random tourists and locals in to appreciate urbanism / architecture / nature...and the capital dome!

If only we had a monument like Saarinen's Gateway arch. Sorry, I've had too much tea

ps. fuuuuck those old renders are so good. Ugh. Praying we get a smaller twin tower that brings this all together. Maybe slightly different color too...
