Well if you mean buildings in Austin, then yes I'm probably inclined to agree, since I can't think of any other remotely large building that even has exposed concrete like this in Austin.
As to other cities, I disagree. I mean, tons of buildings use exposed concrete. The base of the Manhattan Municipal Building is all sculpted concrete, and I think it's high in the running for best looking skyscraper in the US.
And I'm sure this is a nightmarishly unpopular opinion, but I'm also a fan of the Verizon building in NYC. Even before it's glass renovation, I thought the concrete on it looked awesome. If we had a 550' building that looked exactly like that in Austin, I'd love it. But of course, I haven't found many people that agree with me on that...
