Take a look again. It lists the residential developer and It shows what floors are residential on the elevation.
The top portions are residential.

You're right -- thanks!

Wow, the city sure has densified considerably in the background. Oh and you can see the reflection of the old Austonian design with the overhang ring which was never included in the final build...

The elevation still has it as 847'. So they squeezed in five more floors without making it taller. They have both "low rise" and "high rise" office levels, so maybe they lowered the floor to ceiling heights on several floors for the "low rise" levels.

The ceiling heights may have been (or probably were) lowered, but the "low rise" and "high rise" terminology is referring to the elevators. That's what the "ELEV. SPLIT" on the elevation page in the brochure means. On the top floor of the low rise floors, you have to get out and switch to a second elevator bank to reach the upper floors. Or there will be a bank of elevators that don't stop on the 'low rise' floors and shoot up to the lowest level of the 'high rise' floors as their first stop. Highrises used to do this because of mechanical limitations, but now its mostly for elevator speed. You'd be waiting all day if the elevators had to go from top to bottom and all the stops in between.

Possible that the elevation hasn't been tweeked yet. I doubt they just added 5 floors with no height change.

Please please please push over 900 ft.

Nope. Download and read through the entire brochure.

At some point, we'll get a clearer pic of the grading...but, it seems the grade level on the west side of the building is 5'-10' lower than it is on the Guadalupe side. If there is an entrance on that side, then that difference can officially be included in the overall height of the tower.

I too wish they would push it a little and add a few more floors. I'd love for this beauty to top 900'.

Here are all the renderings from the brochure:

Safe to say 67 is the final count? Or is it possible this goes to 75 as has been sort of tossed around. I assume it might depend on what tenant they get lined up (I.e. Amazon

) Fingers crossed.

Also, still wondering why 300 Colorado is only ~400 ft. This building only reinforces that bigger projects are viable.

In my dreams 600 Guadalupe will be 70 floors and 900 or more feet. Amazon taking all of the office space for a massive expansion would be great! I'm still hanging onto my thought that a hotel might be built in the property but that really looks to not be the case. I was hoping a Ritz or Virgin would be included. I am really hoping that all goes well and the project actually gets built and built to a considerable height. No one wants another Fairmont shrink.

The ATX · #**333** Posted **Jan 17, 2018, 1:24 AM**

This would be a supertall if they added a spire just 138' taller than the mechanical screen. The Fairmont spire is 134' taller than the mechanical screen. So a 138' spire on this tower would not be anywhere near as ridiculous looking as the Fairmont spire.

Few things are as ridiculous looking as the Fairmont spire.

801 Barton Springs.

Would you put a Fairmont-size spire on 801 Barton Springs if it meant a 100+ ft spite for this one?

I'd allow it for the Generals reaction.

the Genral · #**338** Posted **Jan 17, 2018, 4:27 AM**

I'd put an entire Fairmont smashed down on top of 801 bs.

Hell, yeah. It also looks like there's a hole on the south facade below the crown that is probably for mechanical access, but I would have to assume they would light that space somehow. The strange thing is, that hole doesn't appear to go all the way through to the north side of the building. It looks like it "dead ends" at the mechanical screen on the north side of the building. That space appears to be on the main roof below the mechanical screen/main roof parapet.
