This makes me miss the green glass Conrad Hilton tower even more.

It makes me really want a verde tower next to Q2 stadium. Bright green. Why the heck not?

Is it too late for the ATX to “re-glass” the entire exterior with a competent contractor and kill 2 birds with one stone…..so to speak?
Safer streets & attractive coloring?

There’s actually two cranes for this one.

It's odd they used multiple different color crane sections. They almost always use the same color.

Seems like a remarkably deep excavation, especially with how close to the river this site is. But maybe it's just been a while since I've seen a project start and this is normal.

I just looked it up, and the the building to the right of the One Ladybird Lake construction site is The Catherine which is 209 feet tall. For reference the One Ladybird Lake building will be 226 feet tall which will make it quite prominent for the south side of the river.

drummer · #**177** Posted **Jun 2, 2026, 2:14 PM**

They'll certainly have a nice view across the river. What a gem.

What about the bat boat docks? Don’t see those anymore in these mocks

^^ Especially with the boat launching portion being high enough for a walking path under it but simultaneously low enough to get into a kayak. There are some other weird elements as well - like one of those abstract artworks that gets funnier the more you look at it.
