A lot of progress after one calendar year

CRAZY! We love to see it

The ATX · #**2503** Posted **Oct 11, 2023, 4:48 PM**

I'm really looking forward to two years from now.

Started from the bottom, now we're here.

Thought the angle were more similar than that.

Not that it matters much with all the excellent photos recently posted, but the CCTV cam has been pointed at Waterline this week:

I love the classics. That camera has recently been pointed at The Waller.

AHHHHMAAAAZING pics, Gilly. This thing is going to be more massive than I think any of us are expecting. Damn I wish I still lived DT.

Would y'all say there's a s snowball's chance in hell they reconfigure some things and open a very small cocktail bar or something either on the mid-level break or crown?

IluvATX · #**2509** Posted **Oct 18, 2023, 2:26 PM**

Does anyone know the height of the floor they are working on?

About 155-160 feet. Believe it's the 14th (technically 13th floor) that has just been completed, which would indicate they've finished the hotel portion.

Thank you I was curious about that too, but I meant the actual amenity floor height. Those columns are massive.

bobbywest87 · #**2512** Posted **Oct 18, 2023, 3:04 PM**

Believe that floor is 21', followed by another 20' floor. At least, that's what I gather from here. All the elevation drawings I have of this one are blurry imgur-crap.

This building is going to make quite an impact on visitors as they first approach downtown from the airport, because of it's close proximity to the Interstate (assuming they're headed downtown, via airport, via I-35

).
Btw, had the chance to make a quick video:

Thank You gillynova for your continued great posts.

I am just AMAZED that the rest of posters here are not gaga on this building! Days go by without a post. I am not in TX now temporary, and long for postings. Austin Texans must be FRIED by the heat of the summer to NOT care about the tallest tower in the state. Really, a MEGA tall in Austin is met with basic silence.

Look at all the posts for 6 X Guad. ALL the time. Not very positive posts either. But here at Waterline, the tallest, and well designed, almost silence. Why? The Parking Podium is well covered. The tower part is interesting. The crown is different. Yet almost no interest! 30+ years in Texas and I still do not understand where the attention to design and social/street interaction of a building does not get the attention of a Texan.

Rail at me for being an outsider all you want. But when will Austin and Texas open up to the greater World and not re-invent the wheel on all issues? Waterline deserves more respect than this community has given it.

I'm not sure why you think there's silence on this building from the forum. It will probably be one of the longest threads on here by the time it is finished being constructed. This is definitely the building I am most excited to see getting built, however, it is still mostly just a podium right now. Maybe that's why you don't see as much discussion over it.

If you are referring to the general public of Austin, most people don't care much about skyscrapers and seem to have a negative view of them. Something about skyscrapers stealing the old soul of Austin or other nonsense.

enragedcamel · #**2517** Posted **Oct 19, 2023, 5:58 AM**

I don't post much because it's obvious that this one will be our one and only supertall for quite a long time, if not forever. Which is sad.

My Brother-in-Christ, we are absolutely gagged about this new building, but we have also been at ACL for two weekends in a row and we are tired.

wwmiv · #**2519** Posted **Oct 19, 2023, 12:54 PM**

Personally, I don't think the facade of this one will age very well. The aesthetic choice of white with a burnt orange border is more appropriate for a 10-15 story building in West Campus...

I won't complain about the design much, unless it ends up with 20 story stains.

drummer · #**2520** Posted **Oct 19, 2023, 1:38 PM**

I like Waterline. I'm excited about it.
