Wait, wait, hold up... they forgot the exposed angular support beams on the amenity levels. Everything else is there with this generation of "architecture":

Unnecessary staggered windows and vertical lines? Check.
Obnoxiously sized parking podium? Check.
Trademark "Austin Screen" on said parking podium instead of being integrated into overall design? Check.

Send this back to the drawing board so we can get the angled exposed support beams and we'll have all the boxes checked.

This is what happens when the architects from the Proper and One American Center have a collaborative brain fart together.

Elevations showing the downsizing were released. The buildings gained a few feet now that mechanical is included, but that that needed to be estimated. The Phase II tower is back over 600'.

Unbelievable to me that they are doing a plain mesh screen for the parking garage when they literally have a cool template they could use as a screen design with the facade above, to make it look fully integrated with the building. Just awful.

Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t stand buildings that get wider as they rise.

this city is going to be filled with the ugliest buildings imaginable in 100 years. future austinites will look back wondering wtf went wrong.

I kinda feel with the overall downturn, this tower won't be built anytime soon and perhaps another design change.

I too have my doubts. Manifold Real Estate has never produced any residential nor built anything above 5-stories.
