Gorgeous. Hanover Brazos will be visible there between Hanover Republic Square and The Austonian.

Such an awesome tower. This will definitely forever be one of Austin's signature buildings.

Yeah, THIS is how you build a striking tower. Shake-n-bake architects take note.

Any whispers on lighting yet?

Beautiful building, I think it will continue to look sharp with age as well. Boring glass boxes are fine enough for for infill/inland parcels, but hopefully this sets a quality standard for any prominent parcels that aren't yet accounted for. The design makes really great use of having two permanently unobstructed sides.

So Pelli died in 2019 and may have had some influence on this tower, but what is interesting is that it's probably the firm's most ambitious posthumous project. This isn't just a repetition of the themes he's pursued in the past (like the SF tower, tbh) it's one of the riskier designs in their portfolio. It's the kind of gamble you take to stay relevant after your founder departs, and it works. I think it will earn PCP commissions for years
