One American Center, once tall and proud and featured in a John Travolta movie, "Michael", now looks miniaturize.

I still love that building. And I spotted that, too, back then. I remember my mom doubted me, but Dad was lIke, he's right, that's the Ritz Theater on 6th.

It looked like the core was matching it yesterday from 35. I can’t remember how much higher 6x sits so since waterline is lower they should be at least tied? Has anyone counted the floors lately ?

We are about to be 4 months away from Waterline topping out btw

WestAustinite · #**3089** Posted **Mar 31, 2025, 6:16 PM**

Looks like about 8 floors to go plus the crown

zx14 · #**3090** Posted **Mar 31, 2025, 8:39 PM**

looks like floor 63 complete plus the core so 67 total. that's according to a picture taken today

I have my hopes up that it will have more floors I gotta remind myself it will end up being as tall as the crane ��

~435’ for Waterline
~495’ for 6xGuad

They have a 157’ structural height difference, but a ~100’ apparent height difference (conditional on the vantage of your view) given the ~60’ elevation difference.

Anyone know when they're going to raise the crane again? I've been waiting.

This photo is fantastic in showing it. Great capture Urbannizer!

clubtokyo · #**3098** Posted **Apr 5, 2025, 1:15 AM**

Oh nice shot! This tower will be iconic for Austin!

Dariusb · #**3099** Posted **Apr 6, 2025, 12:51 AM**

Loving the photos! Great shots guys!

Lobotomizer · #**3100** Posted **Apr 6, 2025, 4:48 PM**

Yes, indeed! Beautiful, iconic, unique, and the tallest in the state! Even on this forum you'd have been laughed out of the room if you said something like this would be built in Austin even a decade ago. I think that was around the time that it seemed every other post was talking about a "plateau". Now "value engineered" is the new plateau. Lol.
