But they still have the queso fountain, right?

You know, I'd be okay if the slide was an inflatable only on game days. But only if it goes into a queso fountain.

Will they just change the name of this thing to Salsa Verde Square Tortilla Chip already?

I was noticing those protruded window bays. A few things, it looks like there's a staircase leading down the one on the right side of the building, which would be very cool to walk on. And it looks like those protruded window bays are glass on the ends, too, meaning that they effectively overhang the face of the building, sort of like the glass floor attraction at the Sears Tower in Chicago. I don't see a glass floor in these, but the view still should be quite good, and it's an interesting design feature.

I think it's important to note that the approved elevations for Verde Square have not been released as of today. So we don't know if the newly discovered renderings are the final version.

I find it hard to believe they would change the location of buildings on the site plan at the last minute. That is the kind of thing that has numerous repercussions on other elements of the site plan and would usually require a withdrawal and resubmittal of the plan. Who would want to spend a year or more in the approval process only to start over again? And if they did make such a significant last minute change, how did it get approved so quickly?

Another super-tall brewing? FAA submission for an 1,072’ ft building, our tallest proposal yet.

This is not a new proposal. This existing proposal is for a 616', 43-story office tower known (right now) as Block 16.

Nonetheless, a potential 74% increase in height is quite impressive. If this is true, look for it to have morphed into a mixed-use tower.

Austin is really setting the bar. Having 4 supertalls for a city it's size is truly remarkable.

I was just about to say the same thing! The skyline will really be cooking once all 4 and the dozens of other towers are built!
