Great pictures.

You can see there is some reflectiveness even in the daylight and its definitely a bit more brown than orange. It's a good tone IMO.

I don't care about the color of our skyscrapers so much as the TEXTURE. Flat blue glass boxes have no appeal anymore. We need to bring back texture and pattern! This tower does it well.

Amazing Tower. Amazing Area of Austin!

You mean the climatologically inappropriate, deadly-when-dead palm trees? No thanks.

Climate change has made it inappropriate, jet stream is chaotic-it’s the new norm.

I thought each curtain wall panel covered 2 floors in the tower portion and that was my main gripe with it, but I don’t see that except in the lower garage area.

A friend of mine lives there! He has north-facing views I took the shot from the hallway.

This angle is going to be stunning in a few years. If it isn't already.
