There's a company in Austin called Gliding Revolution that gives Segway tours of the city. The group in Priller's photo above appears to be one of those tours.

I went by the Austonian today on my bike.

With the progress they've made so far, you can already tell how truly massive this building is going to be compared to any building in the city.

From 9/8.

Starting to poke up on the skyline from Saint Edward's University in South Austin.

shanny · #**234** Posted **Sep 16, 2008, 1:48 AM**

any recent pics guys? (sorry...im 800 miles away...i need pictures)

priller · #**235** Posted **Sep 16, 2008, 3:17 AM**

It looks pretty much like the last photo, with 2 more floors. Didn't have a chance to take any photos over the weekend. I'll try to get some this week.

priller · #**236** Posted **Sep 22, 2008, 12:12 PM**

Austonian is now starting to pop up in the skyline. That's it on the right, next to the Ashton.

Up to 17 floors now. Just 39 more to go!

shanny · #**237** Posted **Sep 27, 2008, 3:00 PM**

theyre gonna have to raise the crane in a week or two

priller · #**238** Posted **Sep 27, 2008, 3:13 PM**

yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Also, the latest construction report said they've been working on the site for a year now.

JACKinBeantown · #**239** Posted **Sep 28, 2008, 1:28 PM**

I guess it's up to the crane operator, but it looks like they could go 3-5 floors before they need to raise the crane.

shanny · #**240** Posted **Sep 29, 2008, 3:03 PM**

latest report (9/26) said that the halfway point (level 28) will be reached dec. 15th
