The top of the core is reaching 700 ft or has already surpassed it, right? This is the fun period when it's starting to reach the heights of the tallest buildings.

It wasn't that long ago when 70 Rainey looked massive and almost out of place on Rainey. Now look at the neighborhood. What an impressive transformation.

AHHHMAZING shots, y'all! It's insane this still has like 20+ floors to go.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the residential sections will not include the UT orange panels?

I was just thinking that while entering downtown on 35 the other day. Now you can barely see it through the other buildings.

That lower portion looks so good with the sharp contrast. I wish we could have a tower turned opposite with the black and white crisp lines running vertical that would accentuate the height . Could even light it like the refurbished National tower in Dallas

Yup. From my napkin math, it looks like even with the holidays they've managed to rise 7 floors between the first week of November and now, meaning it's right at 1 floor/week.

Based on that video, I have it at ~752' at the top of the core.

This tower is starting to grow on me. I’m preferential to the monolith boxes of Houston and Dallas but I think once this is done and the river in front of it gets beautified this will be a real gem. The last time I was in Austin around Labor Day 2023 this was just a big hole in the ground, now it’s almost halfway there! Congrats to Austin for continuing to build to the sky.
