Yeah, no change from the sloped design. Even the number of floors is the same. I'm not sure where they made the changes, but there were minimal changes in height.

UT put out a request for proposals to redevelop it. There were at least 3 different proposals all with different designs and scale.
I was hoping they'd go with the taller proposal just because of the height, but the design was good also. I'm happy with the one they went with. This is going to be a bit of a different type of tower for Austin from we have already. This tower will be located in one of the highest spots in downtown, so it's going to stand out, even with 6th & Guadalupe being just two blocks to the west.
