Thanks for the pictures. This tower is pretty sleek for a box. I can see this tower and Waterline now poking up from Parmer lane and Dessau.

I saw them testing out the LED lights on the parking podium this morning. Lights fade from bright to less bright. It was cool! (7am)

In that case I nominate this tower for the "most disappointing" and "most unfinished looking" awards

This one has always been pretty unacceptable imo. Just another addition to a skyline of value engineered unfinished towers.

But seriously, I understand that we will always have generic buildings, and some of those will be large. I'm not a fan of that becoming the standard, though. I'm hopeful that we get some more statement pieces soon.

I think it’s only the side that faces waterline that’s so polarizing

IluvATX · #**776** Posted **Dec 14, 2024, 3:19 AM**

If they were to paint all of the exposed concrete this would look much more completed.

Lmfao. I'm making hats!

Yes to statement pieces--they are very very needed. Everything is so stripped down now. It's not minimalist, just lazy.

That is exactly what I thought when I first saw that photo. This view looks sooo unfinished with the raw concrete undersides of the balconies. Astoundingly cheap looking. Not A Good Look!

The owners came back on 6x and painted a lot of things after completing
theres still time for surprises here…

I'll chip in some positivity and say that I really like how the color of the glass turned out on this one. It's this nice dark blue with a tinge of green that has a high quality look to it. Given that this tower is basically a glass rectangle it's a good thing they didn't go with something like the glass on 6XG, which cleaning issues aside I don't think looks particularly nice.
