Developing this area is not going to steal the thunder from downtown development.

Believe me, I know it. Even though I live in South Austin, Highland Mall still feels like it's inside of what is "Central Austin" Whenever I'm up at St Edward's University looking out across the skyline, you can't really see any of the buildings at Highland Mall, BUT, you can see the Embassy Suites Hotel right across I-35. If any tall buildings go up at Highland Mall, they should be visible from that spot. Highland Mall is definitely one of the key pieces of land in the central part of the city with tons of accessibility and high visibility. Having residential towers there with views of downtown and UT would be a no brainer.
