^EDIT, only using the 8 foot floor to ceiling height, though, doesn't include mechanical and slab height between floors.

Yeah, I'm thinking more like 750 feet or so going by the rendering. The Austonian has 56 floors and it's 683 feet. This tower would have a hotel use also. Comparing it to the W Austin Hotel & Residences which has hotel and condos, that building is 472 feet with 37 floors. So I guess on the high side this new tower could be up to 829 feet. It's possible I guess that if they tacked on a crown and spire that it could reach 1,000 feet, but who knows.
