Any update on this building? Hopefully, the design won't take away from Frost Bank's.

This will be great for Austin's already gorgeous skyline.

Can't wait to see this take shape. I've always been a fan of Austin and really like this new tower. Would be a very nice addition to the city.

Developer Tom Stacy's mixed-use project at Fifth and Congress is now planned to be 45-stories and at least 705 feet tall. He is planning to begin construction on a parking garage this summer and have the tower completed in late 2008.

I know this topic is about the new tallest, which I think is awesome... but....
I love the Frost Bank Tower. I only wish it were at least 10 stories taller. What a cool-looking building.

The Garage for the building will start construction in June. Its going to be a 1200 space parking garage and I believe 12 stories if Im remembering correctly. The design of the tower is currently being worked out and we should be seeing the groundbreaking by the end of the summer. I am thinking we should see the official renderings by June or July.

Unless Tom Stacey desides to make some last min additions to this tower, it will no longer be the tallest when built in Austin or if it is, for a short ammount of time.

Well Tom Stacy has hired Cesar Pelli to design his tower so there is a very good chance that his building will take the destinction of the tallest in Austin. Though ZCA just recently took off their rendering for 200 Congress stating that it was not the final design after the announcement came out that Cesar Pelli would be doing Tom Stacy's tower. This is going to be very interesting to see it play out.
