Seems to be on the right in this rendering.

This must be what it felt like for Houston skyscraper enthusiasts watching the 1970s-1980s boom. I still cannot believe how much the floodgates have burst open with skyscraper construction here in Austin these days.

Although in this rendering it looks like it spans the whole block. I thought it was only going to be half as wide as it appears in this image.

Yeah I think it's really only a massing - but it does seem to be about the right height

BBVA...now 390 apartments and 96,000 SF of office?!?

They've increased the apartment count from 363 and lowered the office SF from 120,000...

Yeah a lot of the towers in that rendering appear to just be massing.

I completely forgot about this project. I am kinda surprised it is moving forward.

This project has a couple things going for it. One being that it's mostly residential, and two a bank owns the site and is taking the office space. Hopefully BBVA/PNC is providing financing as well.

I hope the BBVA branding stays.

The BBVA branding won't stay because all BBVA branches are scheduled to be re-branded as PNC branches by mid-2021. But maybe they'll put a PNC sign on top.

It looks pretty accurate to me.

If BBVA was providing all or part of the construction equity, then we may not hear anything until the merger with PNC is complete. Just a guess.

I really love this tower. It would look outstanding in the Austin skyline.

Good point. I cannot think of anything else positive about this project. There haven't been any updates to the site plan application since last July.

Yeah, that is concerning. Hopefully it wakes back up.

I think it would be great if the latest renderings could be placed in the original post so that we don't have to go digging for them in each thread.

Would that be possible?

Done. I added these two.

Man, this thing will look good next to 6xGuad if it happens. And keep in mind that this is right next to the post office block, which could also go tall. And Republic.

Love that our downtown will have a few "hills" or clusters of skyscrapers spread out - this area, Rainey Street, and possibly the conventoin center/railyard area.
