Done. I heard about this on KVUE the other day and saw the rendering. I thought they said 70-story or 17-story tower. I'm happy with a 47 story tower for sure. This would be the tallest building in Austin north of the Capitol.
Here's the link.

Glad you got the height for it, too. That is awesome. Technically, it will still be shorter than the Austonian by just 28 feet, but the roof of it will be higher than Austonian's main roof. And because of the higher elevation, this thing really will stick up. But still, officially it'll be listed as 655 feet since that's the height over the street level.

Meh. This tower wouldn't block the view from I-35. And I doubt it'll block many other views. And besides, there are plenty of state office building ugos blocking the Capitol's view anyway.
