I'm not able to read the elevations because the print is so small, and when I zoom in on it the quality decreases.
Where did you find that? Is there another link?
Heh, the planning commission is a wealth of information. Click on Agendas on the left-hand side. There's no other link that I can see. But there is some other stuff on there, particularly about the Cirrus Logic expansion.

this whole "it's not a terrible design" stand has GOT TO CHANGE for some new projects. I understand filler, but c'mon. Who is approving these lackluster designs?
They're files 19 through 26. They show it to be 136 feet tall from the corner of 9th & Red River. It's shorter when viewed from the other sides since the elevation increases as you move west. If it were complete today it would be Austin's 121st tallest building.

Austin-based JCI Companies — the development arm of Journeyman Construction — is busy building its diversified portfolio with a groundbreaking of the Hotel Indigo/Holiday Inn Express downtown and a luxury apartment complex in Dripping Springs.
I hope the lowest parts of the building looks more like the previous rendering than this sign.

I agree completely. The color scheme on the previous rendering and several other details are missing from the current render. The upper floor window arrangement is also different and cheaper looking. I hope they did not do a bit of bait and switch once they realized there would be little opposition to this project. I lack the skills, but maybe somebody could post a side by side comparison of the two renders. Maybe it is not too late for a little SSP input for this project.
