859' would be taller than the original height of 6 x G by the same developer at Waterline. Maybe that is the source of confusion?

God damn that is skinny for something so tall. Just about 75 feet wide.

"The Hyatt Centric but make it as tall as 6x"

432 Park Avenue came to mind..similar facade pattern.

Boring!!! Hopefully the elevations are just placeholders.

Lots to like on this building. I know it's another rectangle but, I really like:

1. The height obviously.
2. Framed windows. Much more interesting than solid glass. Potentially brick??
3. Proportion of the parking garage to the building.
4. That slender view...

I love this rectangle.

If it is all black, very 2001ian.

Swoon!

It's still appears to be all apartments. No balconies would be unusual.

kingkirbythe.... · #10 Posted **Sep 8, 2022, 11:28 PM**

That's true. Rare in Austin, but not necessarily rare in the world.

This one is going to feel absolutely massive on 6th street. And given the location in town, it's going to stick out a lot among the generally shorter buildings. 6xGuad at least has some other height around it. That said, I'm interested in the materials, for sure. Framed windows will be nice.

Flying back from Chicago tonight. Seeing all these buildings planned in addition to the ones going up has me really really excited.

I don't hate the design at its current height (assuming the rendering reveals a quality facade) but man, this would be a lame tallest building. A block-wide rectangular monolith.

If we're going to have a block-wide rectangular monolith, might as well have the biggest and tallest one eh?

Obviously...need to be able to brag about it.

ILUVSAT · #16 Posted **Sep 12, 2022, 8:35 PM**

Shouldn't "Level 71" really be listed as "roof"?

I do like that this might have a 423 Park Avenue vibe to it!

I’ve also gotten word that coincides with loonytoony (new tallest). Can’t say much else.

Is that for this specific project or 3rd & Congress? Or maybe one of the Karlin sites?
