City really needs an ordinance to require parking podiums to match the rest of the building.

ATX Tower rises above ACL. Looks like this one will have a prominent spot on the skyline, for better or worse.

At least the ugly part will be largely hidden in that view.

It's wild that from that picture, you can only see one building (and a sliver of Gables Park Tower) that is not either: (1) largely blue glass; or (2) blue glass with off-white accents.

Great shots and lighting here. These pics kind of remind me of something you’d see in an east coast city.

I love the orangish/brownish brick of that building in the top shot as it reflects the sunlight. Wish Austin could have had a few more brick or brownish/golden colors to offset all the blue.

I agree. Maybe that's why the image felt east coast to me.

Is something planned for that lot in the near future? Built to cover that ugliness up.

Something was planned for the site and will eventually get built which is why the there wasn't an attempt to dress it up.
