If I had a dollar every time I heard someone say they loved Brise Soleil, I would have, like, a dollar. Initially I thought it would come with trapeze artists and contortionists in fancy costume.

Not so fast! I think the Design Commission will have something to say about the half-block long blank wall on the ground floor facing Brush Square.

So that's two supertalls. Along with a second tier of 700 footers, most with either a residential component or 100% residential. We're going to have a lot of very tall housing in relatively short order. It makes sense that these are going to be high dollar units across the board. So my question is, are we becoming a Vancouver yet? Are we starting to see international demand materialize for these bigger towers? Maybe I have limited imagination, but it's hard for me to believe that Austin has enough demand at the right price point for all of this upcoming inventory.

And Houston technically.

Ironically, we may end up looking like Houston with two supertalls around the same height.

It's funny how we classify a supertall using the conversion from the metric system of what they consider a supertall - 300 meters, to 984 feet since it's the US that invented the skyscraper and has more supertalls than any other country, with the relatively recent exception of China.

Anyway, I like it.
