This.
When I was shooting from a parking garage just off Kirby a few months back, it seemed to blend in quite well as part of the fringe of the Greenway Plaza cluster, and mixed pretty well with the Uptown skyline - appearing on it's front door step.
It actually seems to balance Transco scale-wise with the "shorter" Marathon Tower and San Felipe Plaza at that distance and from that view. In reality, both of the office towers mentioned are a fair amount taller than this residential tower.
Next time I'm in town, I'd love to try and shoot from some of the garages I've used in the TMC and near Rice to see how it works from that perspective.
