No no, something more like Melbourne's Prima Pearl Tower...

Yuck no

. But any tower could be a golden yellow. Or a really pretty rose gold pink like the one in Montreal.

I’ll continue off topic: Australia has such cool towers especially the Gold Coast

I mean if you ignore the brand/owner aspect of them (along with the actual large logos on many of the buildings), a number of Trump towers around the U.S. do look pretty good IMO. The three different variations in NYC (Trump International Hotel and Tower on Columbus Circle, Trump Tower on 5th Ave, and Trump World Tower on United Nations Plaza) are all at least decent examples of modernist/International style architecture.

If you got rid of everything else but kept the architecture itself, I certainly wouldn't mind something like that in our skyline

Anyone notice the jail-bar style balcony railing taking shape on Paseo? Ughhh...

This view is getting incredible! I need to take my paddle board out there sometime soon and take it all in.

I suppose it may just be a consequence of Paseo being built as apartments rather than condos. Not that every apartment is like this, but my guess is that the developer decided lessees wouldn't care as much about the balconies compared to owners.

I believe with this one now at 150 m that means we have 20 buildings now in Austin that's amazing

Same thing at ATX Tower, too. Do we have some sort of code/regulation requiring such ugly value engineering?
