The core is getting close to street level now.

Hard to see in this photo, but the core is just now visible from the other side of the lake.

That cluster is just wonderful to see.

I was JUST about to comment and say that is one nice cluster fuck. It would look so nice when Sail/Google is done

Almost looks like a rendering.

That cluster looks like something in the old sim city. I love it.

Are the columns connected to piles that extend beneath the parking garage?

No. The columns extend to a mat slab (about one level thick of solid concrete) that extends under the entire site.

Looks like one - two more floors of parking before 185 really sets sail above ground.

Nice catch. That thing’s going to surprise us all in a few weeks. All of a sudden and poof it’ll be above ground.

Looks like one or two more weeks until this starts rising above ground. Good to see it's moving relatively quickly.

My only gripe with this building is that it sandwiches in Austin Proper. Proper looks great, and I wish it were in a more prominent space that didn't get blocked by 3/4 sides...
