This is a great looking building and it really blends in with the neighborhood. The tall slenderness of it and window design really does pay homage to the Stephen F. Austin Hotel next to it.

If you hold a sheet of paper up to the image facing Congress with the Aloft Hotel, Stephen F. Austin and the Littlefield Building and mark it, the Aloft Hotel seems to be about as tall as those two buildings combined. The Stephen F. Austin Hotel is 188 feet to the mechanical penthouse and the Littlefield Building is 147 feet to the mechanical penthouse. Those two combined is 335 feet, so it's right around that height.
