Crazy to think that the ATX would join such an exclusive club with 2 towers over 1000'! I can think of only 4 cities in N. America that fit that bill. MIA probably will enter that club as well.
AT&T moving here or the tower designs you've seen look like a phone?
When I think cell phones I think Apple and Samsung.....or maybe the new Starlink/Tesla cell phone coming out soon. All companies with a presence in Austin....

So, you're saying this thing may have some serious legs?!? Do you have a clue on when more information may be made available?
Hearing construction start in 2Q23 with 4 year construction timeline. That length of time indicates a very tall building. Look for 9/26 design commission meeting.

Good info. There are also several other major towers yet to make their DC appearance:
701 W. 6th
3rd & San Jacinto towers 1 & 2
Block 41 North
62 East Ave
Hanover 4th & Colorado
Block 87 Rebirth (But it appears dead again)
506 West
12th & I-35
It would be ridiculous to have any sort of height limit due to Brush Square which isn't even a full on block Square. It wouldn't do anything at all. No point at all.

Doesn't this block have a height limit because of Brush Square (not really square) Park across the street?
I hope the city will look the other way if there is.
Yes, the park overlay affects the height just as it did for the 5th & Trinity hotel that was limited to ~13-stories. But this site is big enough where the tower can be set back from the street and go tall. In this case a 360 like rectangle I'm guessing. The Republic Tower was affected by the park overlay as well. But it was able to go tall since the tower was set back by ~1/5th of a block on the side facing the park.
Location: Austin -> San Antonio -> Columbia -> San Antonio -> Chicago -> Austin -> Denver

Am I allowed to irrationally hold out hope that this design boost will actually be timeless - unlike most of our recent additions and a supertall that will very quickly become dated - and 1200’+ feet?
Because I am. Or whichever tower this rumor ends up being about.
