The second tower in this new rendering of 98 Red River is 99 Red River (Block 190). The Hilton can be seen down Red River between the towers. The floor count in the new renderings is not an exact science. But it's not too far off from 74 in the first set of renderings. Block 190 is ~36-stories.
Here's another one showing both towers from the same link as the last batch I posted. I hope Lincoln/Kairoi/We Co. clarify what the latest version looks like.

That's massive
Austin all grown up! Welcome to the big leagues

This is the most descriptive pic of the new batch IMO. I really like how the two towers interrelate -- they make sense together. The lines seem more organic and less . . . awkward than the one we saw initially.
The amount of space something like this would bring to the market is crazy -- especially if they finished out a second tower. I'm very curious as to how WeWork fits into this plan.

I like the subtle curve of the taper and the green balconies of this version. It is very complementary to Block 185, with a concave curve seemingly responding the convex curve of 185. I'm not surprised that it appears to have been VEd out though.

I'm very confused with this photo. The Four Seasons looks to be north of Cesar Chavez here.
To each his own, I suppose. It is different, but I think it's significantly more attractive than the molar that was approved and is under construction - despite the glass looking pretty cool and the materials seemingly high quality, I don't like it. This one I like.

molar is 360' how much can you hate it? plenty of buildings under 400' i don't like. if the molar was 1000' well now i would agree with you. scale matter when it comes to design.
this is an eyesore from all angles. mctower. 1000' cookie cutter. nothing but pcb boards covering first 15 floors. non symmetrical. this thing is mathematically ugly.
I'm glad this is down to one tower -- I like the both fine, but I like the one-tower version better. I'd rather have a more varied design on the second building.
And, even on the first building, the only think I like better about the older version is that it delineates by the actual floors, rather than every 2 floors. Otherwise, the glass with brown accents is much better than another off-white/blue glass building, no matter how tall.
Snow still cracks me up. Someone else mentioned it, but man that would be awesome. I miss snow...sometimes.
I was born in Michigan and lived near chicago and also in PA. I miss the snow? Just not the cold lol. You can't have one without the other unfortunately. Sure is nice around the holidays though!
I was born in Michigan and lived in Minnesota for 8 long years, and I really hate cold, snow and ice. Dallas is too far north for me.
Back to the project...Before rendering the Fairmont, it looks like they looked up the height which was listed as the 595' spire height instead of the roof height.

Hello fellow michigander! I don't fault you for leaving the cold behind one bit. So many transplants in Austin. Before covid I did Uber full time and most of my passengers would tell me like none of their drivers are natives.
I really hope this gets built. Every time I'd make that right onto Red River from Ceasar Chavez and see the barren landscape and trees and fencing I just knew it was only a matter of time. They better not touch that ihop though. All the bars on Rainey can go but not the iHop!
