So as promised, I've been working on updating the list for Austin's main city compilation thread. So far this is what I've got.

I'm wanting to make the characters larger so it'll be easier to read and also work on reducing the border width.

These are actually three images. There would be at least two more, one for proposed projects and another for under construction. I've also done one for lowrises and on hold/cancelled projects. That would make 7 images if I included the last two, and more than that as I add more buildings to the lists.

I'll tweak it a bit. I'm also wanting to include renderings below the proposed list posted as thumbnails with links and info about the companies involved with the projects.

Great job Kevin! Where was I when they changed the name of Legacy to Windsor on the Lake?!

What did you make that with? And how far are you on the proposed and u/c list? Is there any way we can help? Like using google docs?

[KevinFromTexas]

Yes, it was done with Google Docs. As someone had suggested on the forum, I then converted the file to a PDF file, and then opened it with Paint Shop Pro and saved it as a JPEG.

I'm pretty much done with the other lists. I'm wanting to add more lowrises to the lowrise list. And also some more buildings to the highrise list that I don't yet have heights for, but that I believe are highrises.

So far the list above is all of the highrise building heights I have for Austin, but I know there are probably at least 20 more buildings that are at least 115 feet tall. It's just a matter of tracking down the architects, developers or property managers and getting an email back from them. Some companies are skidish about sending out information such as building heights, but others don't seem to mind. It helps when I tell them that it's my hobby and also that I use the heights for my LEGO model of downtown. Most of them become interested in it then and want to know more about it.

It was a little while back. The Downtown Austin Blog did an article on it.

If you Google Legacy on the Lake, it still has that name listed on the Google result, but then the website has the different name.
