I know, right? I've been saying how huge this project is for a while now. It's too bad they decided to elevate the sidewalk (nothing says "I want to be a part of Austin" like stairs and a fence) and (apparently) not put any retail in it, which really makes it divorced from the surrounding area. To me, it's really faux-urban if it doesn't have ground-floor retail (on the same level as the sidewalk). Anyway, it actually has the unremarkable name "422 at the Lake" now and here's the latest rendering from the website. It looks a little different than the original rendering they put out:

It's a little small and hard to make out, but it looks better than the ones we originally saw, IMO. It doesn't have those ugly, confusing crisscrossing lines:
