Yes indeed

Could've been the view from Q2 Stadium. Just sayin'...

That said, I still like it by the Domain. But would've been cool...

Driving in to town on 290 East

From Elgin, just west of SH 95.

Halfway between 130 and 183

From the 290-to-35 south flyover

Are we close to topping out, or does the crane need to jump again? Looks like we're just about to that point from my drive in today.

If I had to guess it looks like we have another ~100 feet to go in total (crown and all). Most likely one more crane jump will be needed. Anyone have a more accurate estimate?

I-35 upper deck (7/23)

From a distance, and looking south, the top of the Google sail looks like the roof was peeled back. Looks weird to me.

I can't believe this thing is going to be taller than the Rockefeller Plaza. That's the best building, for me, to put in perspective.

Closing in on 6xG from the north:

The views of this massive tower from where I am in north central Austin are just incredible. Some views make it feel like I'm a lot closer to downtown than I am.

One view I discovered today is at the intersection of 2222 and Parkcrest, just west of Mopac.

Take southbound Lamar, and right before you hit 15th street you’ll get a crazy awesome backside view of DT. 6X is a monster from that angle… much bigger than anything else on the skyline.

Thanks to this, the skyline view in general is looking best from the North. Huge big city vibes.

How many more floors to go?

Mopacs · #**2839** Posted **Aug 3, 2022, 3:48 PM**

A few shots from up north along Mopac

Yesterday I saw this tower all the way from Hamilton Pool Rd. in Bee Cave while driving east on Hamilton. Pretty wild to see it from that far west now too.
