I’m in agreement with you - I’d rather have a shorter tower with some style than the generic big boxes we’ve been getting, but at the same time I know Dallas hasn’t seen a major skyscraper built (with the exception of Museum Tower and Fountain Place pt2) since the boom of the 80’s so I’ll take whatever we can get.

The fact that we have a park overlay for a non-existent park is about the most orwellian and austin thing I've heard of. If someone asked me what's wrong with modern urbanism (or lack thereof) I would just direct them to this fact.

If anyone needs somthing positive at least know that we get to preserve the views of frost tower from this angle a little longer now. Getting pretty hidden on the other sides, especially if those office proposals actually get green lit

Good point. I love Frost, and I’d be sad if it were to disappear into the masses.

That's for Demo/site prep/excavation. The site plan for the building is not yet approved. But it should be approved soon:
