Probably not. The image is stored at https://pbs.twimg.com/ (Twitter) which is a problem for some folks. I don't recall what the fix is without doing a Google.

It's showing for me.

I found the problem, for some reason the image won't load on Microsoft Edge, but loads perfectly fine on Google Chrome. Kind of odd.

So has anyone calculated how many floors they're building every week?

Probably 1-2. Especially since they're done with the office levels now I believe. Could be wrong. I do Uber/Lyft full time and practically live downtown with all the driving I do and often circle this behemoth on San Antonio st to admire Austin's future tallest!

I really need to take pics and post to here it's just I don't even know how. This website is so antiquated lol

It looks like 1 1/2 floors per week. I’m wondering if the 2 cores will remain once it switches to residential or if it’ll only be the the one by Guadalupe. Also, maybe Kevin can tell us the height when that transition occurs.

Nice shots corvair

That one on Guad looking up is impressive. I bet Kevin is counting the floors as we speak!

The vertical stripe is becoming a more interesting feature than I expected. Wish more curtain walls would use different colors of glass to break up the monotony.

Yes, I believe/hope this is going to be lighting feature on the building as one of the last round of renderings showed but I also like how it already looks with the building going up

Here’s an interesting article that explains glass choice.

14 floors in the last 4 months. At this rate topping out should be Aug 2022. What you all think.
