For sure because it only look 300' in the artsy pics

That is so cool. Reminds me of the spaceship from Arrival.

Makes me wish a little that someone with particular digital rendering skills would try inserting 5C in one of these.

This is my favorite building planned in Austin. There’s a few that are taller but this ones design will give it an immediately commanding presence on the skyline.

I hope the Republic and BBVA happen too. Austin’s reaching new heights, literally.

Certainly would be a great fit for Tesla HQs if they decide to move to Austin.

Looks like a big ol' fat blob. Wish this would go higher than 670'

I think another 100' on this tower would give it better proportions and give it a more slim and sleek look.

Generally speaking we seem to be getting towers with a lot more style lately -- which was one of our community complaints back in the '300 ft plateau era. We're seeing a lot more diversity in shape and style than we were only a few years ago. This one will be a HUGE divergence from what you might call the 6X school of design.

I don't know about this one y'all. how is this building not going to be atrocious...seriously. find one modern building like this that look anywhere near "okay" 5 years after being put in.

If this is built this will be a massive black eye

glass brutalist?

One Manhattan West is basically a taller version of this, and it's probably my favorite building in New York

I agree with Echostatic. I think the renderings are too smooth to do the building justice. Here is a picture of One Manhattan West under construction. On Tower 5C, the glass won't look liquidy like it does in the rendering, it'll look more like this picture.

The notches, the notches, oh the humanity....

It’s just massing dudes. Those aren’t “renderings.”

I haven’t even posted those.
