One American Center, once tall and proud and featured in a John Travolta movie, "Michael", now looks miniaturize.

I still love that building. And I spotted that, too, back then. I remember my mom doubted me, but Dad was lIke, he's right, that's the Ritz Theater on 6th.

It looked like the core was matching it yesterday from 35. I can’t remember how much higher 6x sits so since waterline is lower they should be at least tied? Has anyone counted the floors lately ?

~435’ for Waterline
~495’ for 6xGuad

They have a 157’ structural height difference, but a ~100’ apparent height difference (conditional on the vantage of your view) given the ~60’ elevation difference.

We should be reaching the height of sixth and guadalupe

We are about to be 4 months away from Waterline topping out btw

Looks like about 8 floors to go plus the crown

[zx14]

looks like floor 63 complete plus the core so 67 total. that's according to a picture taken today

Anyone know when they're going to raise the crane again? I've been waiting.

This photo is fantastic in showing it. Great capture Urbannizer!

Here are a couple of photos I grabbed showing the office section interesting angle. It's quite striking when you look up at the building head-on from the new bridge over Waller Creek.



According to the most recent official renderings, the residential section also has an interesting feature where the higher floors taper forwards, creating a very nice subtle contrast with the setback of the lower floors.

You can tell from the extra panes of glass about ~18 residential floors up. Right now we have 14 residential floors covered in glass so we should start to see this coming to life soon.
